Tribewanted: Ecologic tourism on a desert island
Thursday, February 26th, 2009
Ben Keene and Mark James, 2 English guys, founders of this ecologic project, have had the idea to change Vorovoro (a desert island in Fiji Island) to a place with ecologic and moral values.
This project is planned to end up in 3 years and it is named: “Sustainable development” or “tribe wanted”. It is based on an entire respect of nature, no wasting, a green energy, a better waste management, and a life without swimming pool nether air conditional.

An appeal was launch to anyone having some ideas to make this project growing. In 2006, 5000 participants are required, for a period of 1 to 3 years, full-fledged tribe’s members. They can follow the island’s progress permanently. More and more people feel concerned about this kind of tourism, also called ecotourism.
However, they can’t decide everything. They have to discuss it with Tui Mali: he is one of the fourth inhabitants on this island, with his brother and their respective wife. He has accepted to open his territory to bring more resources, especially in rising fishing and formation.
As project functioning, there are always 100 members out of 5000 on the island, honoring the golden rule: not spending more than 3 weeks a years in this future ecologic paradise. Politic on the island is democratic: 5000 participants, 5000 votes.
To compensate CO2 discharges, made by the plane which brought them to this island, they will have to support ecologic projects, such as sustainable energy funding.
This project will be over at the end of the year 2009, and a new island will be rendered to its inhabitants.
