I've first heard about "The World" on a Vh1 show which featured estates of Hollywood celebrities. We may all know that owning islands among celebrities is becoming a trend already. What's new is that Nakheel has announced that it is developing its first island, Coral Island, found at the north coast of Canada. In three years, the first among the 300 islands that Nakheel is planning to develop near Dubai will be fully constructed.
Coral Island is a luxury resort which covers an area of 73 hectares (7.86m sqft). It will soon have a marina village, a specialist spa hotel, and a residential development. The island promises a great view for sunsets. Once fully developed, Coral Island will surely be a dream vacation destination.
As great as it is to know that the earth will soon recognize a new paradise, I still can't get it out of my mind what Mother Nature has sacrificed for such an ambitious dream. Where did the fishes and corals go? Is man not satisfied of destroying land, that he still conquered the sea? These are just questions raised by one who contributes well in polluting the earth.
I'm just caught in the middle.
