How World-Class Hotels Are Preserving The Planet’s Mangrove Forests
25.04.2024 - 19:05 / forbes.com
Renowned for their tangled roots and resistance to salinity, the earth’s mighty mangrove forests serve as a crucial bridge between the open ocean and inland environments, with no shortage of aquatic and terrestrial species thriving across their branches—yet in spite of their importance in mitigating natural disasters, this ecosystem has seen widespread devastation over the centuries. While more than 5,000 square kilometers of mangrove forest have been destroyed since the mid-’90s, not all hope is lost for these marvelous natural features. From the lush jungles of the Yucatan to the shores of Fiji, some of the earth’s most dazzling hotels have set out to restore their surrounding mangrove forests, ensuring that all native flora and fauna will have a safe place to flourish for years to come.
A relatively recent addition to the Mexican coast, the Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai showcases the verdant beauty of the Yucatan Peninsula at its very best, resting on 250 hectares of lush protected land. During a stroll across the property, guests can marvel at native creatures like the coati, plain chachalaca and even the American crocodile—all of which thrive across the surrounding nature reserve’s verdant mangrove forests. Long before construction began, the property was carefully planned out with Quintana Roo’s environmental authorities to ensure a minimal footprint on the surrounding environment, and today, the EDITION employs an on-site biologist to keep record of the health of the mangrove forest as well as initiatives like the on-property sea turtle release program.
While the Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai is a steadfast supporter of environmental sustainability, the property simultaneously provides a wealth of high-end amenities for guests to enjoy, providing a luxurious experience that’s enhanced by the splendor of the natural world. For visiting gastronomes, Ki’is serves as an essential dining destination thanks to its rich array of contemporary Mexican dishes, with Oaxacan-style tuna tlayuda, tikin xic and red mole-smothered braised short rib all gracing the menu. Post-dinner, guests can head to the towering Lobby Bar for an expertly-crafted cocktail, while morning brings the opportunity to take a dip in the outdoor pool or lounge on one of the hotel’s beachside cabanas.
While the Florida Keys are renowned for their world-class snorkeling and diving opportunities, there’s no shortage of fascinating wildlife to encounter on dry land as well. Case in point: the archipelago’s lush mangrove forests, a natural feature that harbors a wealth of terrestrial creatures that span from the Key West quail-dove to the Key deer, an endemic subspecies of white-tailed deer. While mangrove habitats have historically

These Lavish Puerto Rican Hotels Are Working To Preserve El Yunque
Famed for its towering mountains and pristine beaches, the island of Puerto Rico offers a spectacular array of natural destinations to explore all within its boundaries, yet when it comes to true splendor, it’s tough to beat El Yunque National Forest. This sprawling green space measures in at just over 115 square kilometers, with a massive array of native birds, amphibians and insects calling the region home.
