The project focuses on developing regenerative tourism at the Koh Klang Community, located on an island in the middle of the Krabi River in Krabi Province in Thailand.

Local Alike aims to support the Koh Klang Community in setting up a regenerative tourism model to address both the coastal resource and waste management issues.

On aquatic animal conservation:

• Support the community to set up an aquatic animal incubator, focusing on species at risk of disappearing from the area
• Integrate conservation activities into tourism activities, for example releasing mangrove crabs and mangrove trees planting
• Set up and demarcate protected zones in the coastal forests for tourism activities

On waste management:

• Support the community to set up waste separation bins and educate the villagers on proper waste separation
• Set aside funds from the income from tourism to support expenses in the collection and transportation of untreatable wastes to the mainland
• Enlist tourists as volunteers to support trash collection at tourist attractions on the island

The initiated regenerative tourism model will be community-driven, with the villagers taking the lead in managing the resources and activities and Local Alike guiding the initial design and execution.
