Stay at Michelberger in Berlin, your home base for the last cool city on earth

Karin Kloosterman -
Berlin still feels like the last real city where you can just walk out the door and live without a schedule. Staying at Michelberger gave us a base in the middle of Friedrichshain’s raw energy – near RAW-Gelände, Skatehalle, Boxi and all the vegan food and alt shops you could want. From there, Berlin unfolds on foot, by tram, and without ever needing a tourist plan.

Images of Assomption Island development show extensive beach development

Karin Kloosterman -
Researchers who have studied the island for decades describe it as a key ecological buffer for Aldabra, helping to protect the atoll from pollution, invasive species, and light disturbance. If Assomption’s natural systems collapse, they warn, Aldabra could be next.

Seychelles activists sue government for Qatari development on turtle nesting sites

Karin Kloosterman -
The luxury resort now under legal challenge on Assomption Island is being developed by Assets Group, a Qatar-based real estate company that advertises the project on its own website as a collection of high-end villas and spa facilities in the Seychelles. According to multiple reports, including Mongabay and The Seychelles Nation, the developer is tied to Qatari investors and has relied on the London-based PC Agency to promote the project internationally. Environmental groups allege that Assets Group’s expansion near the UNESCO-protected Aldabra Atoll risks introducing invasive species and undermining decades of conservation work.

Undercover divers find fatal flaws in Egypt’s dive boat industry

Karin Kloosterman -
German magazine stern and broadcaster RTL have confirmed what Green Prophet has reported for months — the sinking of Egypt’s Sea Story dive yacht in November 2024, which killed 11 people, was no freak accident. Their undercover investigation reveals the captain had no licence, the operator lacked legal authorisation, and the vessel had serious stability flaws. A wider probe of 17 Red Sea liveaboard boats found every one had dangerous safety deficiencies, echoing Green Prophet’s earlier coverage of Egypt’s dive tourism safety crisis.

Vegan-Friendly Eco-Lodging: What Makes a Hotel Truly Sustainable?

Bhok Thompson -
Vegan-friendly eco-lodging isn’t a niche—it’s a systems approach. When hotels electrify and decarbonize operations, run plant-forward, low-waste kitchens, and align amenities with cruelty-free principles, they deliver lower footprints and richer guest experiences. With transparent metrics and community partnerships, this model scales from boutique hideaways to global brands.

The Aga Khan is greenwashing their awards

Ronak Roshan -
The hotel’s basic ozonation and composting systems lack advanced treatment needed for sensitive coastal zones. Without independent monitoring, there’s no way to confirm that wastewater meets safety standards. On an island without a municipal sewage network, any leakage could threaten coral reefs, seagrass beds, and turtle habitats.

Exploring Portugal’s Algarve coast sustainably on a walking holiday

Bhok Thompson -
A huge part of sustainable holidays is where you choose to spend your money. The local communities benefit from tourism, as long as it helps to grow their economy. On a walking holiday, you will typically be staying in small, independent hotels or B&Bs along your route, rather than those owned by global chains.
