What Are We Doing ?

REEF RESTORATION

We have differents methods to restore the reef such as Biorock technology reef gardening and coral propagation. Biorock is a novel technique to create artificial coral reefs.

ECO
EDUCATION

We offer a whole range of ecotourism information and tours. When you drop by, you can help the island even if you’re here for only a short visit.

WASTE

MANAGEMENT

Gili Eco Trust manages the waste collection and recycling on Gili Trawangan. We also host weekly beach cleans every Friday evening.

ANIMAL
WELFARE

We love all animals on and around the Gili Islands. We help to protect the turtle population and continue to support projects such as Cats of Gili and STUD Horse Stables.

How Does It Work ?

Raising awareness. To make things and behaviors really evolve, the Gili Eco Trust raises awareness amongst local inhabitants and tourists.

Every week, Gili Eco Trust's manager, teaches the three local school's classes about ecology and English. During 45 minutes, children from six to twelve years old think about solutions to preserve natural richness of Indonesia.

But the Gili Eco Trust does not only target children. To make every person on Gili islands improve his/her behavior, posters and notice boards have been put up. Gili Eco Trust offers to come to businesses to train their staff in eco-behavior. In the same way, boats owners can be explained why coral is important and how to behave to not damage it.

Act Now

Project We Support

There are many projects across the Gili Islands that we are pleased to be able to support. We do not have the resources to manage everything ourselves so we are happy to support individuals who do their bit to make the islands better for all.

Cats of Gili

Cat of Gili cares for the welfare of cats on the islands through free volunteer vet clinics and

a TNR programme to help manage the population of stray cats. They also provide food for stray cats. You can now support them at their new Cat Café!

Stud Horse Riding

Stud is a local riding stable which also provides

a permanent home for rescued and retired horses. Happy, healthy horses is their top priority with all proceeds going directly towards their care.

Treevolution

We are proud partners of Pak Suparman and his Treevolution campaign.

The main mission: Re-green Gili. Island trees are slowly disappearing and being replaced with high-rise concrete filled hotels.
