What will @MaleCitymv say? #mashehnoon 🤡

@hdcmaldives is evidently a DIRECT THREAT to local livelihoods and food security in the #Maldives. What kind of SoE is this outfit? Why is this company allowed to operate with impunity against the public? What level of degeneration will trigger action? @governmentmv @MFAORmv

@aleeshareef This seems more accurate, doesn't it Minister? (this is satire btw)

@aleeshareef already ignored our concerns as @ClimateEnvoyMV back when we first raised our concerns about the reclamation in Hithadhoo Moolekede Fishimathi last year. Seems like it’s easy for him to do the same as Environment Minister as well. Different title, same morals!

@ThimaaVeshiHQ @mundhu_maldives @aleeshareef What’s is this fucking fine balance? @aleeshareef

According to Spokesperson @mundhu_maldives , Minister @aleeshareef assured him that the feedback of people living in the area had been taken into account before the rezoning and downsizing of the Eidhigali Kilhi and Koattey (Addu Nature Park) Protected Area. He also said that these were the most important stakeholders to talk to.  Okay.  So where is the feedback, then? Where are the consultation reports? Why were none of the public’s comments included in the gazetted amendment? Why wasn’t the rationale and reasoning made clear from the outset? Why have @MoEnvmv and @aleeshareef not responded in spite of us asking these questions since day one? Why has the Minister ignored all of our posts seeking accountability and information?  And most importantly, who exactly was consulted?  Who are these stakeholders the Minister claims to have spoken to if even the elected councillors at @AdduCityCouncil were excluded from the process? Let us also be very clear. PTV is not some unrelated NGO appearing out of nowhere to make a ruckus. We are FROM Addu. PTV includes members from the very area in question. Both in an individual capacity and a collective one, we are part of the stakeholder group you claim is “most important” to consult.  No one we know was consulted.  So who did you speak to? Is it just the same small circle of politically-aligned people again? We expected people like President @Muizzu and @aleeshareef to understand how representativeness and sample sizes actually work.  And don’t think we don’t know. Unless there are “state secrets” involved, we know very well what’s happening both on-site and behind the scenes. We know this project is being pushed by someone with no mandate or capacity to represent the voice of the people. But let us quote him directly to say that “Addu’s development is not constituency-based, but holistic.” So why the change in tune now? The stakeholders the Ministry may or may not have spoken to cannot claim ownership over a natural asset belonging to all of Addu simply because it falls within their side of an imaginary administrative boundary. The “tharaqqeege masakkah” (code for destructive land reclamation) cannot suddenly become constituency-focused if Addu’s development is supposedly “holistic”.  The impacts of destroying such a critical ecological reserve will not be localised. Climate change doesn’t care about constituency borders.  #SaveFishimathi #LetAdduBreathe

Maldives (Elsofa) government completed a mega project in Vilimale to remove one of the oldest banyan trees in the island as President Muizzu pledged.

It seems like the only aspect @aleeshareef and @MoEnvmv is NOT thinking about is the environment. The Minister of Environment is mandated with advocating for the environment, championing sustainable development, and protecting our precious natural resources. It is not their madate to advocate for the destruction of the environment. This is embarrassing for us as a nation whose entire economy is based on our rich biodiversity and what we derive from our natural environment. Please do better, Minister.

How come it’s impossible to get a response from @MoEnvmv about the sudden changes to Addu’s Protected Area boundaries? @aleeshareef please prioritise your priorities, and at least have the courtesy of explaining this to us! You used the same bureaucratic red tape you talk about to leave us out from the decision-making process about our own environment.

As a low lying nation, the most important thing #Maldives doesn't have are responsible decision-makers! It's outrageous that GoM ministers misuse social media to mislead public, while destroying ecological & environmental protections thru deregulation! #howdareyou #SaveMaldives🌊

@aleeshareef You are a disgrace to the climate community. Instead of empty statements and PR narratives, maybe keep your mouth shut while ecosystems, forests, and reefs continue to be destroyed in the name of development. @SaveMaldivesMV @ThimaaVeshiHQ @veshisaafu #SaveVillingili

As a low-lying island nation, our biodiversity and ecosystem's are our survival. This #BiodiversityDay we reaffirm our commitment to advancing assessing our species and ecosystems and strengthening monitoring of our protected areas network, to scale up conservation and restoration efforts to meet global goals. Every ecosystem we protect and restore, every species we safeguard, it has impacts beyond our shores. Maldives is acting locally for global impact. #LocalAction #ForNature #KMGBF #UNBiodiversity

Don’t be fooled. @MoEnvmv does not care about mangroves or wetlands. They are currently involved in the active DESTRUCTION OF MANGROVE ECOSYSTEMS. Minister of Climate Change, Environment & Energy @aleeshareef has downsized the Eidhigali Kilhi & Koattey (Addu Nature Park) Protected Area to allow @muththo carry out LAND RECLAMATION in an ecologically sensitive ecosystem of immense value. @MoEnvmv does NOT care about biodiversity or the protection of protected areas. It only exists to facilitate acts of ecocide against our fragile environment. @era_maldives @Hassaan_Mhmd @MoEnvmv @aleeshareef @UKinMaldives @EU_Maldives @theGEF @GlobalFundCoral @MangroveProject

Will Ministers @aleeshareef or @muththo tell us with certainty that there is no further reclamation planned to be carried in the wetland and mangrove ecosystem in Moolekede Fishimathi near Addu Nature Park? Why did @MoEnvmv decide out of nowhere to rezone and downsize the boundary of a Protected Area that was set through exhaustive consultation? Why was there no discussion with the community? If a Protected Area can be so easily sliced into pieces by a centrally controlled ministry, is it even protected? Are any of the 93 protected areas in the Maldives really protected? Or do they only exist when you need to parade them in front of donors to get climate finance? We hope our Ministers have enough courage to answer these very important questions. @MoEnvmv @aleeshareef @Hassaan_Mhmd @ERA_Maldives

@China_Amb_Mdv We may not know much about China. But we know about the #Maldives. And the ambassador is clearly ill informed to say that the Maldives "treasures" its reefs. What we see is #debt #destruction and #damage in a #ClimateEmergency. #FactCheck You are welcome. youtu.be/VQ94tF3G5DY
