Palau is the first nation on earth to change its immigration laws for the cause of environmental protection. Upon entry, visitors need to sign a passport pledge to act in an ecologically and culturally responsible way on the island, for the sake of Palau's children and future generations of Palauans. Children from all over Palau helped draft the pledge. And as we reach out to Palauan businesses, we're continuing to work with the next generation of Palauans to shape and develop the pledge. By signing the pledge, visitors vow to tread lightly, act kindly and explore mindfully, leaving only footprints that will wash away. Other countries have adopted this concept, like Hawaii for example and their release of the Keiki Pledge in 2023.
Since January 1st, 2020 through the Responsible Tourism Education Act businesses are required to educate visitors on the environmental protection policies of the Republic of Palau, encouraging businesses to provide environmentally responsible options to their customers.

For over 30 years, Semenggoh’s staff trained young orangutans, who had been orphaned or rescued from captivity, how to survive in the wild. The success of this programme has left the surrounding area with a thriving population of healthy orangutans, who are now breeding in the wild, so the rehabilitation programme has been transferred to Matang Wildlife Centre (see below). Semenggoh is now used as an orangutan study centre, but is still a lifelong home for its successful graduates, semi-wild orangutans and their offspring. They spend most of their time roaming the forest but frequently come back to the Centre for a free meal and can be viewed at feeding times.

The Land of Fairytales : A moonscape region carved by the nature and men, Cappadocia is most famous for its unique geological features and layers of history.
Cappadocia is the name of the region created by the erosion of the soft layers formed by the lava and ashes sprayed by the volcanic mountains of Erciyes, Hasandağ and Güllüdağ, and shaped by rain, wind, and ice for millions of years.
As the landscape was eroded, basalt stones remained and formed conical structures with some reaching as high as 45 m were created over time by erosion of the relatively soft volcanic ash around them. Past cultures have dug into them to create dwellings, castles, and even entire underground cities, used as hiding places by early inhabitants.
