FOUNDATION

11. The magical island of bali has been enchanting visitors for decades. boasting some of the most beautiful tropical settings in world beaches, rice terraces, jungle and mountains inhabited by a gracious people who practice a unique form of hinduism and ancestor worship, it is rightly named “the Island of the gods.” It is no wonder that bali regularly ranks as the world’s best island in polls by premier travel magazines like conde nast traveller and travel & leisure. Geographically, bali lies between the islands of Java and lombok and is one of more than 17,000 islands that make up the Indonesian archipelago. It is in this area that naturalist and explorer Alfred Russell Wallace drew his famous line dividing the species of the asian and australasian continental shelves. bali is small, stretching approximately 140km from east to west and 80km from north to south, yet despite its diminutive size it boasts an impressive diversity of environments and cultural imprints. the island’s preeminent features are its volcanic mountains, most notably the tallest of these three which is Gunung Agung (mount agung), which is 3,142m and sacred to the balinese. It last erupted in 1963 and remains active today. Lying just 8° south of the equator, Bali boasts a tropical climate with just two seasons, wet (October – March) and dry (April – September),and a balmy average annual temperature of around 28°c. the rich volcanic soil and healthy monsoon season make this island extremely fertile and a wide range of crops are grown here including rice, coffee, cocoa and a range of exotic spices. about. BALI

12. It’s certain that bali has been populated since early prehistoric times, but the oldest human artefacts found are 3000-year-old stone tools and earthenware vessels from cekik. not much is known of bali during the period when Indian traders brought hinduism to the Indonesian archipelago, but the earliest written records are stone inscriptions dating from around the 9th century. by that time, rice was being grown under The complex irrigation system known as subak, and there were precursors of the religious and cultural traditions that can be traced to the present day. Hindu java began to spread its influence into bali during the reign of King airlangga, from 1019 to 1042. at the age of 16, airlangga had fled into the forests of western Java when his uncle lost the throne. he gradually gained support, won back the kingdom once ruled by his uncle and went on to become one of Java’s Greatest kings. airlangga’s mother had moved to bali and remarried shortly after his birth, so when he gained the throne there was an immediate link between Java and bali. at this time, the courtly Javanese language known as Kawi came into use among the royalty of bali, and the rock-cut memorials seen at gunung Kawi (mt Kawi) near tampaksiring are a clear architectural link between bali and 11th-century Java. after airlangga’s death, bali retained its semi-independent status until Kertanagara became king of the singasari dynasty in Java two centuries later. Kertanagara conquered bali in 1284, but his power lasted Only eight years until he was murdered and his kingdom collapsed. with Java in turmoil, bali regained its autonom and the pejeng dynasty, centred near modern-day ubud, rose to great power. In 1343 gajah mada, the legendary chief minister of the majapahit dynasty, defeated the pejeng king dalem bedaulu and brought bali back underJavanese influence. although gajah mada brought much of the Indonesian archipelago under majapahit control, bali was the furthest extent of its power. here the capital’ moved to gelgel, near modern day semarapura (once known as Klungkung), around the late 14th century, and for the next two centuries this was the base for the ‘King of bali’, the dewa agung. the majapahit kingdom collapsed into disputing sultanates. however,the gelgel dynasty in bali, under dalem batur enggong, extended its power eastwards to the neighbouring island of lombok and even crossed thestrait to Java. as the majapahit kingdom fell apart, many of its intelligentsia moved to bali, including the priest nirartha, who is credited with introducing many of the complexities of balinese religion to the island. artists, dancers, musicians and actors also fled to bali at this time, and the island experienced an explosion of cultural activities. the final great exodus to bali took place in 1478. BALI history. HINDU INFLUENCE

13. The first europeans to set foot in bali were dutch seafarers in 1597. setting a tradition that prevails to the present, they fell in love with the island, and when Cornelius Houtman – the ship’s captain – prepared to set sail from bali, some of his crew refused to leave with him. at that time, balinese time, balinese prosperity and artistic activity, at least among the royalty, were at a peak, and the king who be friended houtman had 200 wives and a chariot pulled by two white buffaloes, not to mention a retinue of 50 dwarfs. when the dutch returned to Indonesia in later years, they were inte ested in profit, not culture, and barely gave bali a second glance. EUROPEAN CONTACT DUTCH CONQUEST In 1710 the capital of the gelgel kingdom was shifted to nearby Klungkung (now called semarapura), but local discontent was growing, lesser rulers were breaking away from gelgel domination and the dutch began to move in, using the old policy of divide and conquer. In 1846 the dutch used balinese salvage claims over shipwrecks as the pretext to land military forces in northern bali. In 1894 the dutch chose to support the sasaks of lombok in a rebellion against their balinese rajah. after some bloody battles, the balinese were defeated in lombok, and with northern bali firmly under dutch control, southern bali was not likely to retain its independence for long. salvaging disputes gave the dutch the excuse they needed to move in. a chinese ship was wrecked off sanur in 1904 and ransacked by the balinese. the dutch demanded that the rajah of badung pay 3000 silver dollars in damages – this was refused. In 1906 dutch warships appeared at sanur; dutch forces landed and, despite balinese opposition, marched the 5km to the outskirts of denpasar. On 20 september 1906, the dutch mounted a naval bombardment of denpasar and then commenced their final assault. the three rajahs of badung (southern bali) realised that they were outnumbered and outgunned, and that defeat was inevitable. surrender and exile, however, was the worst imaginable outcome, so they decided to take the honourable path of a suicidal puputan - a fight to the death. the dutch begged the balinese to surrender rather than make their hopeless stand, but their pleas went unheard and wave after wave of the balinese nobility marched forward to their deaths. In all, nearly 4000 balinese died in the puputan. later, the dutch marched east towards tabanan, taking the rajah of tabanan prisoner, but he committed suicide rather than face the disgrace of exile. The kingdoms of karangasem and gianyar had already capitulated to the dutch and were allowed to retain some powers, but other kingdoms were defeated and the rulers exiled. finally, the raja of Klungkung followed the lead of badung and once more the dutch faced a puputan. with this last obstacle disposed of, all of bali was now under dutch control and becam part of the dutch east Indies. dutch rule over bali was short-lived, however, as Indonesia fell to the Japanese in WWII.

14. On 17 august 1945, just after wwII ended, Indonesian leader soekarno proclaimed the nation’s ndependence, but it took four years to convince the dutch that they were not going to get their great colony back. In a virtual repeat of the puputan nearly half a century earlier, a Balinese resistance group was wiped out in the battle of marga on 20 november 1946; bali’s airport, ngurah rai, is named after its leader. It was not until 1949 that the dutch finally recognised Indonesia’s independence. The huge eruption of gunung agung in 1963 killed thousands, devastated vast areas of the island and forced many balinese to accept transmigration to other parts of Indonesia. two years later, in the wake of the attempted communist coup, bali became the scene of some of the bloodiest anticommunist killings in Indonesia. these were perhaps inflamed by some mystical desire to purge the land of evil, but also came about because the radical agenda of land reform and abolition of the caste system was a threat to traditional balinese values. the brutality of the killings was in shocking contrast to the stereotype of the ‘gentle’ balinese. The tourism boom, which started in the early 1970s, has brought many changes, and has helped pay for improvements in roads, telecommunications, education and health. though tourism has had some marked adverse environmental andsocial effects, bali’s unique culture has proved to be remarkably resilient. beginning in the 1990s there has been vocal public opposition to some controversial tourist developments, which indicates that Balinese people will play a more active role in the development of their island home. The balinese are officially hindu, yet their religion is very different from that of the Indian variety. they do have a caste system but there are no untouchables and occupation is not governed by caste. In fact, the only thing that reflects the caste system is the language which has three tiers; 95% of all the balinese are hindu dharma, and speak low or everyday balinese with each other; middle balinese is used for talk to strangers, at formal occasions or to people of the higher Ksatriya caste; high balinese is used when talking to the Highest caste, the brahmana, or to a pedanda (high priest). It may sound complicated but most of the words at the low and medium levels are the same, whereas high balinese is a mixture o middle balinese and Kawi, the ancient Javanese language. the balinese worship the hindu trinity brahma, wisnu and siwa, who are seen as manifestations of the supreme god “sang hyang widhi wasa”. other Indian gods like ganesha (the elephant-headed INDEPENDENCE MODERN BALI RELIGION

15. god) also often appear, but more commonly one will see shrines to the many gods and spirits that are uniquely balinese. the balinese people believe strongly in magic and the power of spirits and much of their religion is based upon this. Most villages have at least three main temples; one, the pura puseh or ‘temple of origin’, faces the mountains and is dedicated to the village founders, another, the pura desa or village temple, is normally found in the centre and is dedicated to the welfare of the village, the last, the pura dalem, is aligned with the sea and is dedicated to the spirits of the dead. aside from these ‘village’ temples, almost every house has its own shrine and you can also find monuments Dedicated to the spirits of agriculture, art and all other aspects of life. some temples, pura besakih for example, on the slopes of mount agung, are considered especially important and people from all over bali travel to worship there. there is also a small percentage of moslem, christian and buddhist in bali and everyone is respectful of and values the diversity. Life in bali is very communal with the organisation of villages, farming and even the creative arts being decided by the community. the local government is responsible for schools, clinics, hospitalsand roads, but all other aspects of life are placed in the hands of two traditional committees, whose roots in balinese culture stretch back centuries. the first, subak, concerns the production of rice and organises the complex irrigation system. Everyone who owns a sawah or padi field must be a member of their local subak, which then ensures that members get a fair distribution of irrigation water. traditionally the head of the subak has his sawah at the very bottom of the hill, so that the water has to pass through every other sawah before reaching his own. the other community organisation is the banjar, which arranges all village festivals, marriage ceremonies and cremations, as well as a form form of community service known as gotong royong. most villages have at least one banjar and allmales have to join one when they marry. banjars, on average, have a membership of between 50 to 100 families and each banjar has its own meeting place called the bale banjar. as well as being used for regular meetings, the bale (pavilion) is where the local gamelan orchestras and drama groups practice. PEOPLE & COMMUNITY

16. Balinese people are very good at learning languages and most speak some english even if they haven’t formerly studied english. the mother tongue in bali is bahasa bali and is spoken by most people at home and in the village. children start to learn bahasa Indonesia (the language of all of Indonesia) when they go to school. we have provided you with some useful phrases in Indonesian and balinese languages if you would like to try your language skills: ENGLISH BAHASA INDONESIA BAHASA BALI Good morning Selamat pagi Rahajeng semang Good day Selamat siang Rahajeng tengai Good afternoon Selamat sore Rahajeng sore Good evening Selamat malam Rahajeng wengi How are you? Apa kabar? Punapi gatra? I’m good Baik-baik saja Becik-becik Thank you Terima kasih Suksma Good Bagus Becik I am sorry Saya minta ma’af Ampurayang tiang Where is it? Di mana? Ring dija? How much does it cost? Berapa harganya? Aji kuda siki? What time is it? Jam berapa? Jam kuda? Where are you going? Mau ke mana? Jagi lunga kija? Goodbye (person leaving) Selamat tinggal Pamit nggih Goodbye (person staying) Selamat jalan Inggih durus memargi LANGUAGE

17. ceremonies. NYEPI & OGOH - OGOH The day of ogoh-ogoh is the precursor to the start of the lunar new year, which is celebrated from midnight for the following 24 hours. this day is known as nyepi, the day of silence and it occurs in either march or april each year. about a month before nyepi, strange entities begin to take shape in the local banjar (village community halls) all over bali – huge skeletal stru ctures constructed of wood depicting animals, humans and figures from hindu and balinese mythology. later a papier-mâché skin will be applied along with wigs, garments and other accoutrements to make them pleasing to the dewa (gods) and buta Kala (demons). the day prior to nyepi, when the ogoh-ogoh are paraded up and down the streets borne on litters by the young men of the banjar (communal unit within a village), is known as pengurupukan. There are various explanations of its purpose – to amuse the spirits so they do not get up to mischief; to confuse the spirits (this is the purpose of spinning the ogoh-ogoh round and round at the all-important cross roads where spirits like to congregate); and to show up the rival banjar by having a much better ogoh-ogoh than theirs. at the same time as providing a diversion for the spirits, the ogoh-ogoh also represent them. that is why they often take the form of traditional figures such as rangda the witch or the mythical lion-like barong. because it is the young who take the greatest part in making them, the ogoh-ogoh have become a kind of interface where the ancient and the modern meet: thus you will see monsters on motorcycles and shreks in shades alongside more conservative creations. The uproar of pengurupukan is followed by a day of silence, which is reserved formeditation. officially, no work should be done, lights and lectrical instruments should not be switched on and everyone must remain in the boundaries of their home. no planes land at the airport or even fly over the island. It is a kind of cleansing process, an opportunity to look inside and be still in preparation for the year ahead. Nyepi is related to the equinox and is usually celebrated sometime between march and april each year. If you would like attend the ogoh-ogoh parade, please contact our conceirge to make the arrangements.

18. another festival peculiar to bali is galungan and Kuningan – two festivals which book-end a 10 day period when the spirits of ancestors descend to earth to visit their families. this is an intense period of activity at the temples and vast processions throng the streets with the activity at the temples and vast processions throng the streets with the women carrying tall offerings of fruit on their head and often heading down to the beach to purify the ancestral totems, which are kept in the household sanggah (temple). the temples themselves are cleaned to make them appropriately welcoming to the ancestors and long, flexible bamboo poles decorated with palm leaves known as penjor are erected outside every household giving the streets a festive feel. Contact your Private Concierge for details of the bigger temple ceremonies and how you can take part. The Balinese have two traditional calendars, the sasih and the pawukon, which run parallel to one another, together determining the complex round of ritual and ceremony that permeates day to day life on the island. whilst the sasih originates from a hindu calendar system originating in India, the pawukon is said to be indigenous to bali, rooted in the rice growing cycle as well as Indonesian mythology.the pawukon runs for 210 days and is further sub-divided into ‘weeks’ which run concurrently – the 3, 5 and 7 day weeks are the most significant. New moon and full moons are considered powerful, although because they are calculated numerically, the calender is sometimes a day out sync with the actual full or new moon. Families always make offerings at the village temples for the full and new moon, and major temple ceremonies are often celebrated on a full or new moon on the Saka calendar.

33. at Karma Resorts, we are committed to contribute to a sustainable development by reducing our negative environmental and social impact and contributing our resources to the local community in which we live. It lies in our interest to do this since we want future generations to be able to experience the beauty of Bali, its nature and culture. Karma Kandara is indeed a true “Hideaway”. located on the Bukit Peninsula in the very south of Bali, Karma Kandara is beautifully set atop this unique peninsula, often referred to as ‘Millionaire’s Row’. Despite the arid conditions of the Bukit, resilient tree species and bushes remain green throughout most of the year. The area is also renowned for its marine environment allowing for excellent snorkeling experiences. Besides its colorful fish and corals. Our resort was designed to blend with the natural surroundings of the bukit and was built according to old bali traditional style’s. To ensure our operations are also in line with the environment and our immediate surroundings, we have an environmental management system in place. This combined with awareness raising campaigns we hope to contribute to the sustainable development of the local community and help preserve this beautiful and unique place for many future generations to come. ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY karma kandara. AND THE ENVIRONMENT We recognize that our operations of providing host and guest accommodation, dining experiences, spa treatments, excursions, sports and adventures, will have an effect on the environment. Based on this understanding, we are committed to reduce the negative environmental and social impacts stemming from all our activities, and to constantly improve our sustainability performance. In order to meet our objective, we shall: Contribute our resources, both financial and human, to help better the environment and the community which we live in. Strive to be in harmony with the environment and our cultural surroundings. Contribute 0.5% of monthly total revenue to support social and environmental projects on a local, national and global level. Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases through implementation of energy efficient devices, awarenessraising among guests and the local community on energy consumption, and by turning to renewable sources of energy. Regard waste as an unused resource and live according to the 4 r’s of refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle. • • • • •

34. karma kandara & the environtment Reduce our consumption of fresh water through the implementation of water-saving equipment and awareness-raising among hosts and guests on water conservation. Ensure we minimize the use of raw material, especially paper products. Conserve the natural heritage and biodiversity of the eco-systems that we live in. Ensure that our hosts receive training in environmental matters and we generate environmental awareness in our dealings with all stakeholders. Continuously monitor and improve on our efforts to save natural resources and minimize our negative environmental impact. Source our products from environmentally and socially responsible suppliers and give preference to local suppliers as well as organic and fair trade products whenever possible, as stated in our responsible purchasing policy. Contribute to the sustainable development of our host residence, bali, Indonesia. Ensure transparency by producing an annual sustainability report. • • • • • • • • Assessed and updated regularly, this Sustainability Policy is communicated to all hosts and is available to all stakeholders and other interested parties. An important part of our environmental Efforts is to create environmental awareness among our resort staff, guests and local community. our resort staff undergoes the Karma resorts mandatory environmental awareness training, the green module, as well as several training sessions particularly adapted to Karma Kandara. such trainings include waste separation, energy and water conservation,local flora and fauna. Environmental information is also displayed on the notice boards and is filed and kept available for all staff to read. In our villas, we have placed this “green book”, a compendium that guides our guests through our environmental efforts and invites them to help us wherever possible. whenever we are arranging special environmental activities we are always welcoming our guests to join. At Karma Kandara we also see the importance of spreading environmental awareness beyond our resort and are therefore in constant dialogue with the community here in bali as well as with the local municipality and neighbouring resorts. ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

35. In addition to the efforts we take on a resort level to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases, and of carbondioxide (c02) in particular, Karma resorts has established an offset programme, a programme destined to offset the c02 emissions related to our guests’ flights as well as their stay at our Karma resorts. the programme which has been set up in partnership with the converging world, funds wind-turbines in tamil nadu, south India that will generate renewable energy, replacing polluting coal-fired power plants. revenue generated from this green energy will go to support non-governmental organizations and community projects in India and elsewhere. Fresh water is a very scarce resourcein the bukit and natural aquifers are no longer sufficient to supply quantities needed. Instead, almost all of the fresh water in the bukit is derived from desalinating sea water. desalination is an energy-intense and polluting process which therefore should call for water-saving and efficiency measures. at Karma Kandara, we have procedures in place that strive to minimize the amount of water we need. for the water that we do use, it is treated on site and reused for flushing toilets and for irrigation of our date palms. part of our watersaving efforts is also to only have native plants and trees that require minimum irrigation. no artificial lawns or green areas are part of our resort; instead we rely on the natural beauty of this location. At karma Kandara we consider waste being an unused resource. based on this approach, we try to reduce the amount of waste we generate in the first place, to reuse what we can, and send as much as possible for recycling. hazardous wastes such as batteries and printer cartridges are taken care of separately and are safely disposed off. what cannot be taken care of by us or the recycling company sadly ends up in a landfill. the landfill reflects the general approach to waste management in this region, but we are actively trying to promote recycling here and to make other resorts to start recycling as well. Our hosts also undergo training to be able to separate the waste at its source. this creates sensitivity among our hosts towards the use of natural resources and the need to save them. ENERGY CONSERVATION WATER CONSERVATION WASTE MANAGEMENT karma kandara & the environtment We believe that in our dealings with our business partners we should display the environmental and social values that we stand for. This means having a dialoge with our suppliers on how to reduce packaging, guiding them to source environmentally friendly products and to favor those suppliers that support fair trade or community projects. to ensure our purchasings follow the above, we have put in place our Sustainable Purchasing Policy. ETHICAL & SUSTAINABLE PURCHASING

36. karma kandara & the environtment We are very proud to have Karma Kandara in this unique part of the Indonesian archipelago. With this comesa great responsibility towards the environment and its inhabitants and at Karma Resorts we strive therefore to contribute to the conservation of our natural surroundings. Regular clean up activities of the beach, awareness raising among hosts and local community and low-impact excursions with our guests, are examples of how we try to preserve our natural surroundings in Bali. CONSERVATION OF THE NATURAL SURROUNDINGS We share Karma Kandara with a small village where families live off fishing and seaweed farming. The local government has committed to try to preserve the way of life among it’s inhabitants and prevent abandonment of the peninsula. therefore, a regular supply of necessities such as water and basic food is donated. Karma Kandara represents an opportunity for many of the villagers to earn an income without having to leave their beautiful home and we are glad that a good number of them have decided to join us. LOCAL COMMUNITY

37. The notion of Gaia was first developed by biologist James Lovelock in the 1960s and has proven to be seminal in the development of ideas about the earth as an integrated, living system. In simple terms, the Gaia hypothesis postulates that the Earth is not just a big rock with a layer of life on it belting round the sun, but is in fact a living organism and that everything that is a part of the earth - be it animate or inanimate - is an essential element in the organism. At Karma we adopst some of the principals of Gaia theory and apply them at our resorts. It’s worth remembering that our developments create new conditions that require adaptation on the part not only of the flora and fauna but also the Karma team. The Bukit offers a very different environment from the rice paddies, lush forests, mountains and volcanoes that characterize other areas of Bali. It is a savannah landscape where precipitation levels are much lower than elsewhere on the island, so no rice grows here. But you will find species like lemongrass, milkweed and lantana wild flower if you know where to look. Fauna-wise, the most visible residents of the Bukit are the Long Tail Mascaque mongkeys, a breed that has long lived in a ort of symbiotic semi-sacred relationship with Balinese communities, typically choosing temples as their gathering grounds. The macaques are a common sight at Karma Kandara - they make for colourful and entertaining co-habitants, though they’re not beyond nabbing the odd piece of fruit found lying around. We’re currently looking into a range of possibilities to ensure we maintain a harmonious relationship with our simian friends. As Karma’s Gaia initiative unfolds, projects will get underway at all our resorts, with the aim of familiarizing guests with te intricacies of the local environment as well as protecting ecosystems of course. As part of our Gaia initiative we have had two zoologists in residence cataloguing and classifying our environment and we thought you might enjoy reading about this feature of the Karma experience! flora, fauna & wildlife at karma kandara

38. Adenium obesum is a species of flowering plant in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, that is native to the Sahel regions, south of the Sahara (from Mauritania and Senegal to Sudan), and tropical and subtropical eastern and southern Africa and Arabia. Common names include Sabi , star, kuda, mock azalea, impala lily and the Desert Rose. It is an evergreen shrub with a large swollen basal caudex and leathery leaves, which are spirally arranged. The flowers are tubular with 5 petals that are usually red or pink, with a recognisable white blush toward the throat. Due to the xeric water regime and sun requirements, this plant is a popular houseplant in temperate regions. ADENIUM OBESUM DID YOU KNOW? many cultures such as akie and hadza coat arrow tips with adenium obesum sap when hunting as it is highly toxic. DID YOU KNOW? In frost-free climates, this plant will be evergreen. The bengal clock vine (thunbergia grandiflora) is a plant that can be seen on all of the pathways throughout the resort. It has tubular flowers, in colours including light blue, violet and white, and heart-shaped, leathery leaves. the fruits of this plant are inconspicuous seed capsules. the best soil conditions for bengal clock vines are rich and moist, with good drainage and a ph in the range 6.1 – 7.8 (weakly acidic to weakly alkaline). Carpenter bees, which are also described in this issue, feed on nectar produced by the clock vines. this allows pollination of the clock vines; when bees are attracted by the nectar and enter the flower, they brush against the plant’s reproductive structures, the anthers and pistil. The bee will pick up pollen from the anthers, and when it next enters a flower the pollen will be transferred to the stigma, the tip of the pistil and a seed can now be made in this plant. this process is plant reproduction. BENGAL CLOCK VINE

39. Bougainvillea is a thorny, woody vine that is native to southern america. they are found everywhere on the Karma Kandara resort, particularly in the walkways. the actual flower of the plant is very small and usually white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six colourful bracts that make the plant easily distinguishable. the most common colours found at Karma Kandara are pink, magenta and orange, although there are many other colours including red and yellow. the thorns are tipped with a black waxy substance and the leaves are simple and alternate. Bougainvillea plants are extremely tolerable plants to both salt and drought, making them ideal for warm climates year-round and coastal regions. BOUGAINVILLEA DID YOU KNOW? the plant sap can cause skin rashes similar to those of poison oak/ ivy, so care must be taken when working with DID YOU KNOW? In Kerala in south India, coconut flowers must be present d uring a marriage ceremony. COCONUTS The coconut is the most well known species of the family arecaceae (palm family). the palm itself can grow up to 30m tall and has pinnate leaves which can grow to 6m long. as the tree grows, old leaves break away cleanly, leaving the trunk smooth. the origin of the coconut is somewhat a subject of debate, although most believe it is native to south asia. the palm thrives in sandy soils and warm conditions with regular rainfall. high humidity is needed for successful growth and the plant is very tolerant of salinity. there are many coconut palms on the Karma Jimbaran resort and on the outskirts of Kandara. virtually every part of the coconut can be utilized in some way or another. here at Karma Kandara, we use the coconut for many cocktails and dishes, you can even order a whole one whilst down at Karma beach!! If you visit the Karma spa, local coconut is used in many of the products, particularly the scrubs.

40. FRANGIPANI Frangipani (plumeria) is a small group of plants containing around 8 different species that produce flowers that range from yellow to pink in colour. It is native to the tropical and subtropical areas of america but was introduced to southeast asia by the spaniards via the philippines. plumeria obtusa is the species found at Karma Kandara and can be recognized by the waxy white flowers with a yellow centre and the long leathery leaves rounded at the ends. In local folk beliefs, plumeria provide shelter to ghosts and demons and are o ften planted on cemetery grounds. plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to entice sphinx moths to pollinate them. however, the flowers do not have any nectar, and deceive the moths as they search for nectar. DID YOU KNOW? In modern polynesian culture, plumeria is worn by women to signify their relationship status, over the right ear if seeking a relationship, and over the left if taken. DID YOU KNOW? the hibiscus flower is used to shine shoes in many parts of India. In Indonesia, these flowers are called “kembang sepatu”, which translates literally as “shoe flower”.. HIBISCUS Hibiscus refers to a large group of flowering plants with distinctive flowers. they are grown in almost every balinese compound or garden and can be spotted at Karma Kandara in the walkways and lapping up the sun by the villa pools. here at Karma, we have the hibiscus rosa-sinensis, which is the most common bright red hibiscus but there are many colours available. traditionally the hibiscus flowers are used in offerings and to decorate temples and other religious structures. however,there area wide range of other uses of the flowers; food, hair care, as a natural diuretic and as a ph indictor to name a few.

41. LEMONGRASS Lemongrass (cymbopogon) is a genus of around 55 species of grasses native to the warm and temperate tropical regions, and is particularly abundant in India. lemongrass is known by many names including barbed wire grass, silky heads, fever grass and citronella grass to name a few. It is a tall, stable grass that has a citrus flavour. It is widely used in asian cuisine as a herb, it can be dried and powdered or used fresh. It is most commonly used in curries and teas, but here at Karma Kandara it is mainly used in cocktails and can also be found on the dining menu, and in Karma spa products. research has shown many astonishing properties of lemongrass. Lemongrass oil is used as a pesticide and a preservative and it has been shown to have anti -fungal properties. It has a commonmedicinal use, allegedly relieving cough and nasal congestion. DID YOU KNOW? In 2006 it was discovered that lemongrass has anticancer properties, now there’s an excuse for a cocktail! ROYAL POINCIANA The royal poinciana tree (delonix regia) is native to the bukit (hill) that the resort is set on, so they can be seen when en-route to nammos via the inclinator and in the villas themselves. they have large descending seed pods, fern-like leaves and red, orange or yellow flowers. However, this feature has resulted in the royal poinciana becoming considered a pest species in parts of australia, as it prevents the growth of other plant species beneath its canopy. poinciana trees are legumes, so they have nodules on their roots containing bacteria which supply them with nitrogen needed for growth. this tree has a conservationstatus of “vulnerable” in the wild, so it is at risk of becoming an endangered species. DID YOU KNOW? royal poincianas are of special importance to graduating high school pupils in vietnam, as its flowers bloom between april and may, when the school year ends and they become adults.

42. SEAWEED Seaweed is a loose term for benthic marine algae including red, brown and green algae. Seaweed can be classified by use (as food, medicine, fertilizer, industrial, etc.) and like all algae, seaweeds are not actually plants. seaweed farming is a big trade in bali; farmers can receive between 600 and 3500 rupiah per kilo for their harvest at markets. the seaweed is used for extraction of carageenan, a carbohydrate with gelling and emulsifying properties used widely in cosmetics and as a food additive. seaweed cultivation at the beach here at Karma Kandara can be seen marked out in the shallows at Karma Beach It is used in the seaweed scrubs and lotions at the Karma spa. DID YOU KNOW? globally, there are over 9000 species of seaweed. DID YOU KNOW? the flowers are commonly used in hindu worship. this is because the shrub is thought to be sacred to shiva and vishnu, two hindu gods. SOKA Soka or red Ixora flowers (ixora coccinea) are commonly know as ‘Flame of the Woods’ are tropical evergreen shrubs that can flower year round and are part of the Rubiaceae family. they are native to India and sri lanka. they have leathery leaves and large clusters of small, red flowers. It will flower when only a few inches high. the flowers are used in Indian folk medicine for conditions such as dysentery, leucorrhoea and hypertension. the roots are used for nausea, hiccups and anorexia. the shrub has a dense, twiggy growth and a tolerance to frequent shearing, so it can be pruned into shapes and is therefore frequently used as a hedge.

43. WATER LILY Tropical water lilies of the family nymphaeaceae are present in the pond areas at the reception and the walkway that passes villa 34 and 36. Water lilies are a well studied because of their large flowers with multiple parts that were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants and later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms. this type of water lily can bloom during the day or night, but most will close overnight. the opening and closing of certain water lilies at different times in the day was used in ancient egyptian culture to signify death and the afterlife and the recent discovery of psychedelic properties explains their use in rituals and ceremonies. these plants are widely used for ornamental purposes in ponds. DID YOU KNOW? The largest water lily is the Giant Water Lily, which can grow to be 2 to 6 feet in diameter! DID YOU KNOW? butterflies are attracted to sodium found in salt and sweat, which is why they will occasionally land on people. CRUISER BUTTERFLY There is a huge range of butterflies at Karma Kandara, and these can especially be seen on bright, sunny days where they fly around the area of the Karma spa and di mare restaurant, and also at the bottom of the beach steps. one of the species here is the cruiser butterfly (vindula erota). the male is smaller and a brighter orange yellow; female cruisers are a dull brown colour. the male of a species will quite often be brightly coloured and patterned, as this helps them to attract mates. butterflies drink nectar to obtain nutrients; they will also congregate at shallow puddles to drink on warm days.

44. DID YOU KNOW? It is a common mistake that carpenter bees eat wood - they do not. they do however recycle it by using it to strengthen the walls of the cells created within the nest. they also don’t make honey! DID YOU KNOW? It is believed by the staff at Karma Kandara that the bullfrogs we have on site are poisonous – please don’t touch them! CARPENTER BEES Carpenter bees (xylocopa latipes) have a similar appearance to the bumble bee, although the upper surface of the abdomen is a shiny black. you may be able to observe the bees on yourway to Karma Beach, as they like to feed on the bengal clock vine and nest in the wooden awnings they grow on. carpenter bees create tunnels in wooden structures by vibrating their bodies, and do not usually damage the wood to a great extent. although the male carpenter bees often display territorial behaviour, it is the females you need to be wary of since they have a stinger- males do not. You can usually tell where the carpenter bees are nesting since a yellowish-brown faeces tends to accumulateon the walls near a nest. can you spot any? BULLFROGS Bullfrogs (rana catesbeiana) take residence in the pond areas around the resort, particularly at reception, and their loud calls can be heard there at night, as well as at the pond - surrounded walkway that passes by villas 34 and 36. the average bullfrog will grow to be between 3.5 to 6 inches. bullfrogs have a skull, spine and bones in their limbs, but they don’t have ribs, so they rely on rhythmic mouth and throat movements to move air in and out of their lungs, allowing them to breathe. bullfrogs have a large appetite and will eat anything they can swallow – this includes insects, mice, small turtles, snakes, and birds. They have a muscular tongue which they use to flip prey into their mouths, and small teeth on the roof of their mouths. bullfrogs are bred by Indonesian families to sell for extra income, as this can be done on a small amount of land.

45. LONG TAILED MACAQUES Long tailed macaques (macaca fascicularis) are monkeys with grey fur, small pointed ears and fairly long, pale brown faces. an adult male macaque ranges in height from 40-65 cm and weighs between 4.7 - 8.3kg. their unusually long tails are almost always longer than their head-torump heights. these tails give the macaques the balance needed to leap up to 5 metres when moving through tree canopies. baby macaques are born with black fur, but will develop adult colouration by the time they are a year old. you can often see female macaques with the young clinging onto them when the group move around the villas. A macaque’s diet consists largely of fruit, but in the dry season when this may not be so readily available, they will switch to alternative food sources such as leaves, insects, flowers and bird eggs. macaques sleep in their groups and will huddle together to share body warmth. also, they are able to swim and can use this to avoid predators. the macaques mysteriously disappear from theresort when there are big events at the temples; this is because they will urinate on their hands and feet to leave a scent trail for other monkeys to follow, so one individual will lead the group to the fruit on offer at the temples. These monkeys can be mischievous at Karma Kandara! they have no problem with swiping your fruit and playing with sachets of tea and coffee, so please be warned – always keep your door fully closed and locked. It may be tempting to feed the monkeys or leave fruit for them, but this not only encourages them to come into the villas, but also puts you in danger, as they may become aggressive. DID YOU KNOW? long-tailed macaques have cheek pouches in which they store food whilst foraging.

46. HOUSE GECKO These lizards have earned their name by easily adapting to coexisting with humans, and you are very likely to encounter one during your stay especially at night, as they are nocturnal. they tend to sit on the walls of the reception and the villas. The species found at Karma Kandara is hemidactylus frenatus, which is white with pink tints, and has red eyes. other reptiles that can be found around the resort include the sun skink (mabuya multifasciata), a brown c loured lizard which frequently basksin the sun–reptiles are cold blooded, and so must gain heat from the sun so that they can conserve enough energy to move around. tokay geckos (gekko gecko), which are green with red spots, can also be seen. DID YOU KNOW? some species of gecko can grow to be 60cm! DID YOU KNOW? normally flocks of each colour aren’t found together, but interestingly both colours of egrets have been seen around Karma beach PACIFIC REEF EGRET This bird species (egretta sacra) feeds on fish, crustaceans and molluscs, so you can see them hunting in the rock pools near nammos for prey. they are a type of heron, and so have the characteristic long beak and legs of these birds. An adult bird will have a length ranging between 57-66 cm, and a wingspan of 90- 110cm. these birds can be either white or charcoal grey, and it is uncertain why these birds come in two distinct colours. It may be either related to the climate in which a group of birds is situated – the grey birds are suited to colder climates – or to camouflage, which may give birds of one colour an advantage over the other based on the habitat.

47. STAG BEETLES Stag beetles refer to a large group of beetles in the family lucanidae. they can be found around the Karma Kandara resort in the undergrowth and despite their often formidable appearance, they are not usually aggressive to humans. the english name is consequential of the distinctive large mouthparts found on the males of most species, which resemble the antlers of stags. The male stag beetles use these mouthparts and jaws to wrestle one another for food and favoured mating sites. this is parallel to the way that stags fight over females. female stag beetles are smaller than the males with much smaller mouthparts. DID YOU KNOW? The stag beetle is a Globally threatened species. DID YOU KNOW? the only other fish that can avoid the potent poison of the sea anemone is the damsel fish. CLOWNFISH Clown fish or anemone fish belong to the subfamily amphiprioninae. depending on the species, clown fish are overall yellow, orange, reddish or blackish with white bars or patches. the species found in the Karma Kandara lagoon are the amphiprion ocellaris. they are orange with an average of 3 white bars and can grow from 10 to 18 centimetres in length. anemone fish have formed a unique relationship with sea anemones which enables them to live amongst the anemones tentacles without being stung. The anemone fish secrete mucus which absorbs a substance from the anemone containing its chemical ‘signature’. this enables immunity to the anemone sting since when the fish comes into contact with the anemone the stinging cells are unable to fire. this is due to the presence of the same chemical inhibitor that prevents one tentacle stinging another.

48. Cuttlefish are molluscs in the same taxonomical order as octopuses and squid – cephalopoda. It has recently been discovered that cuttlefish are among the most intelligent invertebrates. their distinguishing features include w-shaped pupils, an internal shell called the cuttlebon – this helps to control buoyancy – and a muscular fin that surrounds the animal’s body. the fin works with the mantle cavity to facilitate and control movement. they have two elongated tentacles, which are used to entice and capture prey, and eight short ‘arms’, which they use to grasp the prey. Cuttlefish have predators including sharks, fish and other cuttlefish, so they will also use their tentacles in displays to warn off predators; they spread their arms and suck water into the mantle cavity in order to appear larger. CUTTLEFISH DID YOU KNOW? cuttlefish, among other cephalopods, were valued in ancient greece and roman times. this is because the ink they release when alarmed contains a unique and useful brown pigment. DID YOU KNOW? several hermit crab species use a ‘vacancy chain’ to find new shells. this fascinating phenomenon occurs when a new bigger shell becomes available. the hermit crabs gather round it and form a ‘queue’ from largest to smallest. HERMIT CRABS Most species of hermit crabs are aquatic and can be found living in varying depths of saltwater. here at Karma Kandara, hermit crabs can be found in rock pools and if you look closely enough, in the lagoon. hermit crabs are decapods (ten-footed) crustaceans that belong to the super family paguroidea. strangely these are not closely related to true crabs, since the majority of species have a long soft abdomen which is protected from predators by a borrowed empty seashell carried on the crabs back. the hermit crab most frequently uses the shells of sea snails since the abdomen is adapted to clasp strongly onto the central column of the shell. this structure is only visible when the shell is broken.

49. MOLLUSCS They are the source of the traditional “seashells” found on beaches; they are bivalves, so they have oval shaped shells that consist of two equal halves, connected by a hinge joint. clams eat plankton by filter feeding, where water is passed over a specialized structure to remove certain particles. filter feeders are important to marine ecosystems as they clarify the water in this way. sea snails have bowl-shaped or spiral shells. Many sea snails are herbivorous, but cone snails are a type of sea snail that is predatory carnivores. they feed on invertebrates such as marine worms. cone snails should be handled with care, particularly the larger species, as they are capable of stinging humans – although it should be noted the snails present in the rock pools are not large enough to produce a fatal dose. MOORISH IDOL FISH The moorish Idol (Zanclus cornutus), which you may recognise as ‘gill’ from the pixar film ‘finding nemo’, is a small marine fish which commonly inhabits tropical reefs and lagoons. It is thought to have got its name from the moors of africa, who believed that it brought happiness. they have black stripes and yellow-white coloured bodies, with a long extension on the dorsal fin. they feed on sponges and invertebrates. there are many other beautiful fish to be seen amongst the coral, so be sure to rent some snorkelling equipment from Karma beach – it is an amazing experience that is not to be missed! DID YOU KNOW? sea snails can “seal” themselves into their shells using mucus or a hard layer of calcium salt, to prevent water loss when the snail is inactive, and for protection against predators. DID YOU KNOW? the sickle-like dorsal spines of a moorish Idol will shorten with age.

50. You should always tread carefully in the sea at nammos beach. this is because in amongst the coral there may be sea urchins, which can cause painful injury. they can be recognised by their circular, spiky appearance. sea urchins can come in a range of colours, but those found at Karma Kandara are mainly black or black and white. they feed mainly on algae, and surprisingly have predators including sea otters and wolf eels. a sea urchin’s long spines can cause puncture wounds, and it also has small organs called pedicellaria which can attach to the skin and release venom. SEA URCHINS DID YOU KNOW? ‘urchin’ is an old name for hedgehogs, which are round spiny animals that sea urchins are said to resemble. DID YOU KNOW? snowflake eels are shy and secretive, and will only attack humans in self-defence. SNOWFLAKE EEL Snowflake eels (echidna nebulosa) are a kind of moray eel. they have small eyes, so they rely on their exceptional sense of smell to ambush and catch prey. moray eels are carnivorous and feed mainly on fish, cephalopods and molluscs. the eel’s head is too narrow for it to swallow by creating negative pressure as fish do. Instead they swallow using pharyngeal jaws. these are a second set of jaws in the throat, which can be extended into the mouth to grasp prey, and then retracted to pass the prey into the throat and digestive system.
