Seychelles – Paradise under Threat

PLAY


German dreams of Seychelles paradise clash with climate change challenges.

A vacation in the Seychelles - or even a wedding? This is the dream for many, especially Germans, who top the guest list at this island archipelago. But the paradise is under threat.

We show the beauty of the island, with its rare animal species, happy wedding couples and white beaches. And yet: This is a paradise under threat, you can see the signs of climate change, with broken shorelines and bleached corals. Although the Seychelles has only 0.13 percent of Germany's land area, its new marine reserve is larger than the Federal Republic: A dream for the conservationists, who are supported by the Seychelles government.
