Seychelles - Paradise under threat | DW Documentary

- Dream vacation or destination wedding - where better than Seychelles? The archipelago is especially popular with German tourists. But despite the island nation’s unique approach to nature conservation, this paradise is in danger.
This documentary showcases the archipelago in all its beauty, with rare animal species, white sand beaches... and the conservationists who are working hard to protect it all. Although Seychelles has just 0.13 percent of the land area of Germany, its new protected marine area is larger than the whole country. But climate change has severely impacted the archipelago, as it is often the smallest islands that are first to feel the consequences. Storms and waves damage turtle nests and corals, while further eroding the islands’ coastlines. The country’s president Wavel Ramkalawan is also concerned. An ordained minister in the Anglican Church, Ramkalawan still preaches to this day. He tells us of the message he draws from the Bible in his fight to save the islands.
We also learn about the various initiatives to rescue this tropical paradise. Coral nurseries help to revive damaged reefs. And seagrass plays a major role in combatting rising CO2 levels, as it stores more carbon than a forest of the same area. Seychelles and Mauritius share an expanse of seagrass larger than Switzerland.
The president is calling on the international community to help cover the costs of all this, because revenue from tourism isn’t enough. And many tourists care too little about it. At their wedding photoshoot, a couple from Austria explains how beautiful and easy it is to get married in paradise. But for how much longer will this paradise exist?

i am proud to be a Seychellois, although i lived in other countries, im blessed to be from such a beautiful place on earth.
cool
Nice to meet u
Your birth country is really cool, someday I intend to visit to learn more about the negative legacy of Mike Hoare and his stain upon the Seychelles.
Proud people of their countries stay there unless they go out for business or short vacations ! but never leave it to live somewhere else ! it becomes not yours anymore .
@@mosheh111 I disagree. You can leave for numerous reasons but home will always be home and something to be proud of.
First ever seen a bird laying eggs without nest, its calming place.
The most legendary part is these birds can use their poop as cement !

They don’t have much predators
I am one of the luckiest to visit and work in syechelles and experienced the island life with picturesque view and friendly locals.. its fun experienced i must say.. 😊😊 its one of the most beautiful island on earth..
Hello sir how can I get the chance to go and work there
Hello dear, please how can I go to Seychelles and live and work there? I am from nigeria and live in nigeria so please help me out
Amazing, interesting and sad documentary, as I just came back 1,5 weeks ago from the Seychelles. It was an amazing experience there and learn about their work to preserve the nature and see what nature caused (eg the dead corals).
It's quite a remarkable documentary. Thanks DW.
Nice documentary. Seychelles is truly beautiful..
Beautifull documentery about my country i allways wanted for DW to make a video of my country keep it up DW for the lovely documentery
Hi dear please I really need to come and work in Seychelles how can I go about that please
Another amazing documentary by DW❤.keep it up 👍.Love from PK💚.
It's high time for you DW guys to do a documentary about Mauritius....Mauritius..a hidden hell within
I would definitely watch that in honour of Mauritian eminence grise Jean Houbert who was my mentor and friend.
What a beautiful place!
Reside in an equally beautiful country which is New zealand this past 23 years but Seychelles is land of my birth and home. Misses it heaps.
Looks like a beautiful place, with very nice and peaceful people. Now I'd like to go on vacation there!❤🙏
This is an absolutely beautiful place!! I would love to see it 💕💕
Great idea. Tourists come to the Island on the condition that they invest their interest in learning about the fragilities of the eco system it hosts.
One of the most beautiful place that i have ever been. It is really a paradise. Coming back next month.
Congrats to the beautiful wedding couple! ❤
I did my diving License in Seychelles in 2006, for me still the most beautiful island
I have been so far
I'm a seychellois and this place is marvellous
cool
May I get your number? I need to learn more about Seychelles
Please help me how can I get there and work? I am a nigerian please I need your help
classic documentary thanks dw always stunning
I went there 33 years ago. Absolutely unimaginable such groups roaming around. I stayed there 21 days 14 of which in Silhouette. You needed to book a boat to go there and there was a little boungalow hotel. Now I learn you con go by helicopter and there is a Hilton hotel instead😢 Thanks to God I have that time memory, not the obscene tour business all destroying images in my mind. 😐
It's truly sad when corporate organizations take over such incredible beauty and disrupt they fragile environment they're trying to save. Sounds like your trip was one in a lifetime with incredible memories.
Excelente documentário 👏👏👏
13:56 I know that woman, She goes to, or at least used to go, to my parents' cafe every morning, in fact a table is always reserved for her. Such a sweet lady that is always working and studying.
Beautiful birds 🐦
Hope this place can be preserved for a very long. Just see this from a far is good enough for me.
Interesting documentary, thank you!
Was there in 2017.... I really enjoyed my visit
What a wonderful president. He is a 1st class leader . Full of humanity and kindness towards his people. Would love to meet him
Simply beautiful.
DW's analysis also very nice✨.
Great documentary congratulations to the newlywed. We have the same island vibes in my country. When I was young I still saw many monkeys, deer and exotic birds in our mountains now you can hardly see them. Hope humans will continue to preserve this beautiful islands and its inhabitants.
You say you lived on a similar island and remember seeing monkeys? Are you calling the people of Seychelles monkeys? This is very disrespectful
@@Landauh they never said that where are you getting this from? They were listing some animals (like monkeys) they commonly saw on their island vibe kind of country, that they weren’t seeing as often anymore. They never said Seychellois people were monkeys
We got married on La Digue at christmas and spent our honeymoon there. Beautiful place and beautiful people🥰
I need to go there before that!!! But hopeful they remain a tropical paradise.
lovely , thank you for sharing :-)
I was literally just chatting with my friend from the Seychelles 2 hours ago. My phone is listening to me.
Get a Nokia - you will get flak from family and friends, but no adverts or smart audio surveillance possible!
Africa is blessed continent with a beautiful islands.
Proud to say I live here❤️
Please I need to live and work there I need a help on that, I am from nigeria so how do I go about that please
Another brilliant documentary. Thank god for DW opening our eyes to critical world issues and to the incredible beauty of our planet!
several paradisiacal islands across our planet have already been claimed by the ocean, including five of the Solomon Islands and a handful in Micronesia.
Seychelles, Palau, Kiribati, Maldives, and Torres Strait Islands are on their way too.
When the islands you have mentioned as being ‘on their way to disappearing’ remain in whole, or in part intact, please admit your error. As for those islands which exist at, or near sea level, the loss of such islands will be regrettable.
Which islands have already been claimed by the ocean?
Bye Felicia
In Colombia we lost Isla Maravilla about 10 years ago, and we are on route to lose Isla Panda and Isla Mangle, also Isla Ceycen is being torn in 2 halfs by the sea. Its really depressing considering about 60% of our domestic energy source is renewable
@@kevinbarrios5718 There are factors, beyond human control, that might play a part in the global temperature shift.
I love my country 🇸🇨❤️
Love this place. ❤
Would love to visit one day. ❤❤❤ What gorgeous! 😍😍😍😍
Love ❤️ to see my home 🏠 miss it 😞cant wait to go back ❤if you reading this have a beautiful day may God make everything easy for you.
Please how can I work and live in your country I love to migrate. I am from nigeria and I want to work and live in Seychelles please help me out
Excellent!!👏👏
🤨
Europeans be like, we polluted and looted everyone for centuries and now we want you to stop polluting and adopt our expensive methods that you can't afford.
@Us1997 yeah but that doesn't really change anything!
@Us1997 who says I don't blame them as well? Everyone of us is looted by politicians in their own country. But the root cause of poverty in majority of our countries was Europeans. And so your point isn't much valid with that respect.
Embrace your history buddy ,the whole world know Europeans loot and loot
@Us1997 you probably a polluter?

Beautiful Paradise on da planet Earth. 😌🌴
That's the most nicest president I ever saw 💗
I agree, he seems to have a very good nature and philosophy of life which is fair.
My beautiful homeland
Please how can I live and work in your homeland please I want to live and work in Seychelles
Good to see the measures they take against illegal fishing !
Trinidad & Tobago, West Indies.
8:17 👏 Congratulations! 🙂
Where ever it gets developed the surroundings gets messed up
A president like you have in Seychelles is the rarest of all kinds. I salute you for being a true leader for the people and the world. May we all aspire to live and walk with God in our hearts and nature in our minds.
As always this remarkable documentary exhibit how we reach a point let small countries like Seychelles on the brink of disaster .it time for powerful nations to take steps back before it would be there is no course reserve specially for beautiful places like Seychelles.
There is no way back. Either we come up with a technical solution or we die enmass.
Your country is beautiful and the people are blessed. The preservation of the environment is essential. Climate change is the greatest threat that the entire world faces and cannot be ignored. Good luck to you, Seychelles!
I´ve been there this year. Broke my leg, had hard 3 months. Now I booked again. See you in 2024 🙂
President of Seychelles Wavel Ramkalawan's grandfather was from Bihar, India.
Don't forget that Seychelles is popular for off-shore financial brokers LOL. They are cracking down on them more now, but there are so much pump and dump financial brokers on those islands.
In other words they are the caribbean of the Indian Ocean.
Ahahaha
great
Seychellois you are blessed to have this beautiful place, responsible citizen and good president. may we can do something about climate change to preserve lives. God bless!
We should be a responsible tourists. It would be a great help for the locals (like proper way of waste disposal).
Live you brothers
From India
Haha. LOL.
their expectations is that my brother and my siz gets the best in life...amazing
I went in 2016 to visit Seychelles..mehe...I loved it..I would live there.its so beautiful..and Victoria ...
*They told us about that threat already 30 years ago.*
I just get married in Seychelles six months ago. I missed the beach and the mountain so much. It has isolated vibe ,clean and tidy everywhere.I think Seychelles government does a good job to protect natural environment , especially when you talk of its location-one part of Africa. I currently staying in Senegal,one country in west Africa with great Atlantic Ocean view. Unfortunately, some beaches in Dakar and Saint Louis are covered by life trashes.
this world is not going anywhere till it's creator says so
You make a film about losing the islands to the sea when its the rich westerners causing the bloody problem in the bloody first place which you omit to mention
China and India have the biggest carbon footprint. Are they the west?
@@McYeroc
Yeah kick those Western Companies out. They are manufacturing and producing for locals to consume domestically anyways. Make the West produce what they want to consume themselves
Same thing but different
@@McYeroc same thing but different
@@McYeroc America too
Yes we have something to be proud of. Seychelles pulls beyond its weight.
Africa is an amazing place
Wow I found where my native tongue came from. I’m Haitian & honestly don’t know my roots so it’s interesting to know Creole speaking ppl in Africa. 😮🥰🥰🥰
My beautiful lovely Seychelles, I've visited the Seychelles 6 times so far in my life . First time 1987 and last time 2019 .. the beauty holds its own still . But I wonder if the nuclear tests in the Indian ocean have started to take their toll on my beautiful paradise island.
Hello dw 👋

A great leader leading with his heart and God
Undoubtedly. What a man.
The Caribbean is so beautiful
This is in Africa 🙄🙄🙄
Bruh this is africa right next to somalia
@@Ayimwaa This is neither Africa nor Carribian. This is Indian Ocean.
@@robubabu520 It's in fact an African nation. That's the fact not what you assume.
@@vervetech9395 Dont tell the Seychellois that they are African, they will really slap you.
would love to visit. but is such a long distance from where I live In Toronto
I love my island 🇸🇨
Please how can I live and work here, I really want to work in your island
@@GarenaFreeFire000 it's very expensive to live there now.
@@winnersclub6836 I know but I can handle myself on that I just need a way to get a work over there or can i just enter the country and start a work because it's visa free for Nigerians so please guide me on that thanks
@@winnersclub6836 please do well to give me a reply I will be happy about that
As a guy that's travelling to Seychelles in a couple of days from writing this, is the weather in Seychelles decent around mid to late September?
Wow I love 💕 African beaches!!!
I’m proud to be Seychellois!
Hi please I need a help on how to relocate and work in Seychelles

😍😍
@10.50..why in the world did you choose n o t to show the view the Prime Minister was so proud of
I my self is a Seychellois with a peaceful luxury island for paradise to live in.
Hi please how can I stay and work in Seychelles please i need help on that
It's my home 🇸🇨
I use seaweed on my veg gardens but i do rinse it.
Ok, companies bad, Seychelles good, but the real question is, why does the Seychelles have the Hungarian and Romanian flag in its flag?
What about the twin coconuts 🤔
Timor Leste is a pristine island which shall also be protected
Where is Khaled Al-Masry's video?
This is the job I want for retirement , to save the earth , so dope , I would best happy in the medows of the sea.
0:46 ”The first group of terrorists…”?!
It looks to me that the coastguard is funded by the same EU mass fishing companies. They create the rules and regulations that they enforce on everyone except themselves. They don't give smaller local companies a chance to grow. Underground colonialism..
How’s he walking bare foot ….my anxiety is all over the place
Seychelles is paradise love from Nepal ❤️ And I' mis to much Victoria and mt poses prison
"And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found." (Revelation 16:20).
my people
I knew, I just knew that not long into this film 'climate change' would be mentioned as a contributor to 'paradise under threat'. And right after that the narrator stated travel/vacation expenses increased to, you guessed it. . . to help fight 'climate change'!
So why do they actually collect the seaweed? To use it as fertilizer? On the other hand they are boosting erosion of the beaches and the sea floor. At first they say that we need to protect the sea meadows but soon they are destroying them. I don't get the logic.
The seaweed is usually washed up onto the beaches and they will die off and dry up by the sun this is when it is used for fertiliser. What the ladies were collecting in the sea will also eventually get washed up onto the beach
Those seaweeds are washed on our beaches and if not collected they just rot away . They don’t collect those in the sea and not detached. If you visit one day you’ll get the picture.
@@lisachangty-seng1052 wouldn't the dead seaweed make the soil better for new weeds to grow on
@ Those washed on the beach are used as substrate to feed other plants . Those in the sea grow through means of spores ! And also there are other islands where the scientists grow them too right in the ocean !
Bro. Where’s mother base?
Seychelles is beach 🇸🇨🏖️
The Handsome President kinda looks like a young Nelson Mandela to me 🥰

@@rrsp60 thanks
i love this documentary... i wish #laos will start doing something like #seychelles, saving the rainforest, animals, and whatnot instead of allowing illegal logging and get rich quick by through corruption.
