HOW OUR TEAM OF WRITERS MADE THIS ISSUE
MEET ARCHIE
Resorts in Maldives often work with marine centres to educate the public about marine
conservation. Kanuhura Maldives, where our associate editor recently visited, is no exception.
During a tour around the Atoll Marine Centre, she also adopted Archie, a green turtle rescued from
a nearby island where locals were keeping it as a pet! We’ve received news that Archie is doing very
well and is due to be released in a couple of months! Check out more activities Kanuhura Maldives
has to offer on p34.
