Ep 121: Chris Brown, the Sustainability Warrior of Pemuteran, Bali
In one of our most exciting conversations yet, Vinay traces the inspiring story behind the sustainably thriving community in the scenic fishing village of Pemuteran on the island of Bali, Indonesia – and the sustainability warrior who started it all. Meet Australian-born Chris Brown who was the first to see the potential of diving in the Pemuteran area. After starting the Reef Seen Divers’ Resort back in 1992, he began working to support and educate the local communities to better understand the need and ways to protect the local marine environment from the destructive bombing, cyanide fishing and other activities. In 1994, Chris started the Turtle Project of Pemuteran which works to protect the wild turtle population and to stop, or at least diminish, the worthless slaughtering of turtles. The project hatchery has released several thousands of turtles (juveniles and adults) into the ocean over the years. Chris has also started other projects including the Reef Seen Dancers, a Balinese dance troupe, and the Reef Gardeners which works towards conservation of the area’s coral reefs.
