Our Mission

We, at Sanctum Una Una, are very active in many different local environmental activities. We are always happy to help and be part of different community programs that support the local people or improve our environment and it`s future.

Sanctum Una Una organises regular beach clean ups with the guest and the local school kids, sharing the knowledge of the harmful pollution, which we are facing all around the world. Sanctum teaches in the local school about waste management and the basics of the underwater world, while also giving the children the opportunity to experience the underwater world by snorkelling and scuba diving.

Planting trees, mangroves and giving basic knowledge to a permaculture way of gardening to the local kids opens up the eyes how easy it can be to help the planet earth and to be able to grow your own vegetables from the seeds that they can find in their surrounding.

Sanctum Una Una also organises underwater clean ups with the guest, volunteers and staff. In a dive called Eco Dive, we are cleaning the dive sites from the fishing lines and other litter.

One of the sucessfull completed programs is the reduction of the Crown of Thorns Star Fish in 2019.  Together with Togean Conservation Foundation, we moved the Crown of Thorns from the coral reefs. This perticular Star Fish population grew up in massive number eating corals while they were moving. With the help of many volunteers, we were able to reduce the numbers of the starfishes into healthy numbers.

Sanctum Una Una working closely together with the local organisations and foundations:

Celengan Sampah – This great Ecobrick program keeps our islands clean from the plastic pollution.
