Gili Eco Trust is a local non governmental organization created in 2000 to protect coral reefs from destructive fishing around the three Gili islands, off Lombok, Indonesia. The Gili Eco Trust has extended its activities to many Eco projects to regenerate coral reefs, clean up, educate, do reef gardening, organize recycling and garbage selection, do some research and studies with universities, set up sustainable Eco tourism with green energies, give animal care clinic and much more. == History == In 1998 was founded the SATGAS by local people on Gili islands to protect coral. After el Nino in 1997-1998 and because of many degradation causes corals were in such a bad shape that local people decided to react and started patrolling around the islands. They entered into an agreement with fishermen to define fishing areas and lawful fishing practices. Fishermen were indeed fishing with dynamite and cyanide. This destructive method was one of the main causes of coral degradation. The Gili Eco Trust was founded in 2000 by the dive shops on the Gili islands to financially support the SATGAS. An eco-tax of 50,000IDR (€4, US$5) is demanded from every diver to financially compensate fishermen who respect the agreement's terms. In 2004 Delphine Robbe, part-time coordinator of Gili Eco Trust, imported the Biorock technology in Gili islands to launch a Coral Reefs Restoration Program. Since then 63 Biorock structures have been installed all around the Gili islands to regenerate their reefs. Since 2006 the Gili Eco Trust has been organizing Biorock workshops every two years. In November 2006 took place the 4th international Biorock workshop. Two other workshops took place in November 2008 and November 2010 with always more participants from all around the world. 2009 was a turning point: the Gili Eco Trust extended its projects to land environment protection. To support all these projects, Delphine Robbe became full-time coordinator. Now the Gili Eco Trust leads many various projects to ensure Gili islands' sustainable development and promote eco-tourism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gili Eco Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
