Biyoçeşitliliğin Korunması Politikası

1. Protection of Local Plant Species

• In the hotel garden and its surroundings, native (endemic) plant species suited to the Marmaris-Turunç region are preferred.
• The plants are introduced to guests by means of information boards with QR codes, thereby raising environmental awareness.
• The plant inventory is updated at least once a year and recorded by the relevant units.

2. Nature-Friendly Garden Practices

• The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is minimized; organic and natural protection methods are applied as a priority.
• The irrigation systems are optimized using the water-saving drip method and are operated during the coolest hours of the day.

3. Lighting Policy

• For night-time lighting, downward-directed fixtures are used in order to prevent light pollution.
• Amber-coloured, low-lumen lighting is preferred so as not to disrupt the natural cycle of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) and other nocturnal creatures.

4. Wildlife Protection Activities

• Safe habitats are protected for the birds, squirrels, and other wild animals observed on the hotel grounds.
• Staff and guests are informed not to feed wildlife and not to interfere with the natural cycle.

5. Intervention in Nature and Compensation Process

• Prior to any construction or maintenance work, an "Environmental Impact Assessment" is carried out by professional teams.
• If potential adverse effects are identified, compensation measures such as tree planting, habitat restoration, and the like are initiated without delay.

6. Monitoring and Evaluation

• All biodiversity practices are reported on a monthly basis by the "Sustainability Committee".
• Through evaluations carried out at the end of each year, the positive effects on biodiversity are measured and new targets are set.
