Canareef Resort Maldives Celebrates World Wetlands Day 2025

As the world comes together to celebrate World Wetlands Day on 2nd February Canareef Resort Maldives invited nature lovers and eco-enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Addu Atoll. Nestled in the recently designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Canareef offers much more than a luxury destination. In addition, it celebrates biodiversity, ecological balance, and sustainability.

Canareef’s unique landscape of wetlands and lakes showcases the richness of Maldivian nature. Moreover, from vibrant wildlife to thriving plant life, this pristine environment promises an unforgettable experience. Visitors can explore the untouched ecosystems and witness nature in its purest form.

The Heart of Canareef: A Sanctuary for Wildlife

At the center of Canareef Resort lies the Eco Park. This hub of wildlife activity and natural beauty surrounds the island’s largest lake. In fact, the eco-sanctuary reflects the resort’s commitment to environmental conservation. Guests have the opportunity to experience nature up close, observing a variety of species that inhabit the park.

Meet the Residents of Canareef’s Wetlands:
  1. Fruit Bat (Vau): These gentle nocturnal creatures play a crucial role in pollination. They help maintain the island’s ecosystem as they feed on tropical fruits.
  2. Grey Heron (Maakanaa): The Grey Heron stalks gracefully through the shallow wetlands. It is often seen wading in search of its next meal.
  3. Maldives Water Hen (Kan’bili): As the national bird of the Maldives, this elusive creature darts through the lush wetlands. It offers a special glimpse into the country’s natural heritage.
  4. White Tern (Dhondhooni): With its striking white feathers and elegant flight, the White Tern is a sight to behold. Frequently, it soars over the coastline, providing a breathtaking view.
  5. Maldivian Little Heron (Dhivehi Raabondhi): This endemic bird hunts skillfully, feeding on fish and insects in the wetlands.
  6. Tilapia: These fish thrive in the freshwater areas of Canareef. They pay an important role in balancing the aquatic ecosystem.
  7. Milkfish (Beyn’gu): These omnivorous fish feed on algae and small invertebrates. In doing so, they help maintain the health of the wetlands.
  8. Mud Crab (Kandoo Kakuni): Mud crabs are vital to the mangrove ecosystem. Their presence helps maintain coastal balance.
  9. Mangrove Whelk (Fulli): This brackish-water snail plays a crucial role in the nutrient cycle. Consequently, it contributes to keeping the ecosystem thriving.
  10. Crickets (Rafeegu): The soothing chirps of crickets add a natural soundtrack to Canareef’s tranquil evenings. Their presence connects visitors to the delicate web of life.
Canareef’s Flora: Nature’s Guardians of the Coastline

Beyond the wildlife, Canareef’s wetlands host an impressive range of flora. Each plant contributes to the island’s ecological stability:

  • Seashore Screwpine (Boakashikeyo): This distinctive tree bears pineapple-like fruit. It supports the coastal landscape by providing food and materials for locals.
  • Coconut Palm (Ruh): The Coconut Palm plays a central role in Maldivian culture. It provides sustenance, shelter, and crafting materials.
  • Black Mangrove (Burevi): Mangroves act as natural coastal protectors. Their deep roots prevent erosion and provide habitats for marine life.
  • Sea Hibiscus (Dhiggaa): With bright yellow flowers, the Sea Hibiscus stabilizes sandy shores. Furthermore, it adds vibrant color to the landscape.
  • Coastal Ironwood (Fithuroanu): This resilient tree serves as a natural windbreak. It offers essential shelter for wildlife.

A Call to Protect Our Wetlands

Canareef Resort Maldives stands as a symbol of balance between luxury and nature. On World Wetlands Day, the resort aims to raise awareness about the importance of wetlands. Wetlands not only create stunning landscapes, but they also form vital ecosystems that protect shorelines, support wildlife, and contribute to the planet’s health.
