When Marlon Brando first arrived in the Tetiaroa atoll, he was so impressed by its natural beauty and the Polynesian way of life, he decided to find his own pocket of this paradise to call home. Years later, in a bid to make this biodiverse area a centre for environmental research, he began his endeavour in setting up an environmentally conscious\u00a0luxury island resort<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While this was the beginning of The Brando resort\u2019s creation, it eventually made its debut in 2014. True to its original inspiration, the resort proved its dedication to preserving the environment with sustainably built villas blending into the forest and renewable energy.<\/p>\n

Sustainable initiatives in French Polynesia<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Along with the construction of the resort, The Brando built and gifted an eco-station to the Tetiatoa Society who run research and education projects focusing on conservation of the atoll. Initiatives here include sustainable fishing and fish replenishment programmes, the preservation, monitoring and restoration of the environment and the protection of species such as turtles.<\/p>\n

In part thanks to projects like these, this atoll\u2019s waters thrive with marine life. Around 167 fish species have been identified here, whales pass through on their migration route and dolphins regularly make an appearance.<\/p>\n
