Environmental issues must be immediately addressed in south of Thailand

The state of fragile natural ecosystems has been a long running issue in the public forum, but what is really being done to protect systems that are irreplaceable yet being treated so poorly?

The Mermaid of Samui group, headed by Mr.Surat Sukcharoen has spoken out to plead for social attention to Ko Samui’s natural environment and resources, so that future generations can infact enjoy the same beauty that we do today.

He said, “Our natural resources are used without consideration to their future affects. And even many previous projects initiated to protect the environment lack continuity. In the next few years, Samui will start getting affected badly by environmental problems.�

MSG has been campaigning hard recently to bring to the attention of people the negative effects that we have on our environment and how we can be more aware of this; thus affect sustainable change.

Soe initiatives by the group have included the releasing of one million Barramudi fish to teir natural homes to draw attention to the incentives to clean the beaches in Samui and keep them clean.

MSGs efforts are necessary to garner support, as Mr. Surat says, “Our valuable resources are being abused and used with no appropriate directions.�
