Island Conservation

Responsible island stewardship is our duty - both to the environment and to future generations. That’s why we’re championing good practice in private island ownership.

Oceans cover 72% of the earth’s surface and support life in all its forms. Yet despite their obvious importance 90% of our oceans are suffering.

This suffering has an inevitable knock-on effect on our island habitats. Species extinctions and global warming threats are disproportionately greater on islands than anywhere else in the world.

Yet just as the threats to biodiversity is at its highest in our oceans and on our islands, so too are our opportunities to make a difference.

In our 40+ year history, Vladi Private Islands has witnessed first-hand what kind of positive difference an environmentally responsible island stewardship policy can make – not just to private islands, but to our most precious asset of all: Planet Ocean

Believing the promotion of responsible island stewardship to be nothing less than our duty Vladi Private Islands has therefore decided to champion good practice amongst private island ownership, celebrating all those island owners in working together to create healthy islands, we can succeed in creating a healthier ocean.
