We all know that tourism is essential for the economy in many areas around the world. Tourists
are needed as well as a healthy environment. Sustainable tourism is the only way forward. Locally
at Koh Samui and its neighboring islands, the main concern is the lack of sufficient drinking water
during tourist seasons, deteriorating coral reefs and floods due to erosion. In Feb 2010 we are
adding social and ecological responsibility to the equation that already includes all the great
things that made it a success in 2009.
Reearth is a massive 2-day charity beach and jungle party with focus on
environmental and social issues.
The REEARTH PROJECT ON KOH SAMUI The project Reearth started soon after Timbuktu's successful performance on Koh Tao in 2009. His interest in scuba diving and the ocean opened his eyes for the deteriorating conditions of the coral reefs and the decreasing amount of fish in the area. The project Reearth started as an ocean project where fish and corals where the main concern but soon developed into something slightly bigger. Reearth started soon after Timbuktu's successful performance on Koh Tao Research shows that the problems was caused by human activities on land and not in the ocean. Luckily there are very concrete solutions to the problems, which has been tried and tested in many parts of the world as well as locally. Initial guidelines was set to; Act local, Concrete solutions, Tangible effects – ACT, the Reearth project was to be long term, benefit local communities by local events, with visible and positive effects on environment and local people. A close co-operation with both Thai and Swedish researchers, authorities and doctoral students in the area of social and environmental responsibility was a great help to set up initial guidelines and to move the project towards our goals.
