Save Hankorab: A Collective Call to Protect a Natural Treasure

However, this irreplaceable environmental treasure is under threat. Unregulated human activities, increasing tourism pressure, and improper waste management are putting immense stress on the delicate balance of Hankorab’s ecosystem. If we do not act now, we risk losing one of the most stunning natural sites in the Red Sea.

HEPCA’s Role in Protecting Hankorab

Since 2012, HEPCA has been at the forefront of protecting Hankorab. Through environmental monitoring, community engagement, and collaboration with local authorities, we have worked tirelessly to preserve its natural beauty and biodiversity. Our efforts have included setting up sustainable tourism guidelines, conducting cleanup campaigns, and advocating for stronger conservation policies.

Today, in cooperation with other civil society organizations, we are taking our mission a step further. We are calling for Hankorab to be officially declared a protected area, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy its pristine waters and vibrant marine life. This is not just about conservation—it is about securing an environmental legacy for Egypt and the world.

The Power of Collective Action

In a remarkable demonstration of public support, our petition to save Hankorab has already gathered over 5,000 signatures—a clear sign that people care deeply about protecting this unique site. Every signature is a voice demanding action, a commitment to preserving our natural heritage.

But our work is far from over. We need your help to push this initiative forward. Whether by signing the petition, spreading awareness, or advocating for sustainable tourism practices, every effort counts.

Join us in the fight to #SaveHankorab. Together, we can make a difference.
