CENTRAL to Banwa Private Island's ethos is to support, nurture and protect the island's delicate ecosystem and the rich array of flora and fauna it provides habitat for.

One of the programs through its environmental arm, Aquos Foundation, is to protect the critically endangered Hawksbill turtles. Banwa Private Island has long been a favored nesting site for the Hawksbill turtles, and conservation projects are continuously implemented to protect preferential areas for the turtles to lay their eggs. Since 2016, over 6,300 Hawksbill turtle eggs have been laid in 69 nests in our shores, of which 61 percent hatchlings emerged.
