Besides the significant efforts which have been put into the preservation of the land during construction, preserving biodiversity resources on the site is an ongoing practice. the below highlights the landscape plan for SBR:
Site Title
Another important part of the landscaping is the significant efforts undertaken at the resort to deal with mosquito control in a more sustainable manner:
Instead of using the conventional fogging practice,which is a petrochemical derivative that also significantly affects other species, SBR uses 3 alternative treatments more respectful of the other species and ecosystems:
- Spray of an organic solution based on soil bacteria, a process referred to as BTI, which is more targeted at the larval stage of the mosquito's life cycle;
- Use of the ecosystem as a control mechanism by developing a range of water ponds throughout the site. These ponds provide habitats for a variety of species which are considered natural predators of mosquito's (fish, dragonflies, lizards...)
- Another spray based on an enzyme solution. A very effective process but costly. For this reason we only apply this process for particular locations on special events to be extra sure.
