Our hotel establishment at N’Gouja is committed to the environment. Aware that we are entrusted with an exceptional natural site, we take great care to ensure that it can be shared with present and future generations. This is why we have adopted an environmental charter to guide our development projects and daily operations. We are constantly looking for new ways to limit the environmental impact of our activities.
You are most welcome to take part.
Listening to the sound of the sea gently lapping the shoreline, getting to know the playful makis, gazing up at the hundred-year-old baobabs… Le Jardin Maore offers a whole new range of nature-based experiences. Declared a natural protected area by the French government and classified as a marine protected area by the Mayotte Natural Marine Park, N’Gouja is home to a fantastic array of biodiversity, both on land and underwate.
We work closely with local associations to advise our teams and raise awareness among our customers, in order to maintain a balance between our human activities and the environmental requirements of the site.
One such example is the preservation of the N’Gouja meadow, a genuine marine meadow for turtles, which is under constant threat from bathers. To protect the N’Gouja site in the long term, we recommend that you follow the rules set out in the charter below.
The Fauve Lemur (Eu lémur fulvus mayottensis) is a species unique to Mayotte, living in groups with a social model similar to our own. Its small hands, golden eyes and soft fur make it look like a cuddly toy. They are not shy, and the trees in Le Jardin Maore tropical park are home to several dozens of them. You can watch them from your terrace. They jump from branch to branch, peel their fruits and play with their young. However, we recommend that you do not feed them, as this alters their eating habits and can affect their health.
The CEDTM (Centre d’Etude et de Découverte des Tortues Marines – Centre for the Study and Discovery of Marine Turtles) is an association under the 1901 law, whose purpose is to develop, on a local and regional scale, research programmes on marine turtles and their habitats, and projects to raise awareness and preserve the natural and cultural heritage associated with marine turtles. The daily activities carried out in partnership with Le Jardin Maore contribute to the management objectives of the exceptional natural site of N’Gouja and are part of a sustainable economic development and ecotourism approach.
