Pg 43 - CALLING ALL NATURAL WONDERS
The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, along with renowned explorer and preservationist Jean-Michel Cousteau and his Ocean Futures Society (OFS), offer a groundbreaking program called "Ambassadors of the Environment" that introduces travelers to the Cayman Islands' extraordinary natural wonders and cultural heritage while demonstrating ways to build environmental sustainability back home. Participants (kids and adults alike) can discover Cayman's famous coral reefs by snorkeling and studying rare fish; kayak through the mysterious mangrove forests; and hike the woodlands and wetlands to protect endangered species like the 300-pound loggerhead sea turtle. "This program inspires visitors to live more sustainably and take responsibility for their future," says Dr. Richard Murphy of OFS. After a long day of preserving the environment, hit Silver Rain, the on-site the La Prairie Spa for a well-deserved facial or massage. www.ritzcarlton.com. - Nicole Dorsey-Straff
