Habitat Loss Prevention:

Some extent of natural habitat has been lost due to extensive concrete buildings not blending with the surrounding environment.



Native Vegetation:

Native trees are not present on the property. However, there is opportunity for increasing the native vegetation cover on the property.


Trash Pollution Control & Recycling:

Due to being located in an extremely environmentally sensitive area, Rewestern Holiday Village needs to do better Trash Pollution Control, Recycling and Composting to reduce plastic and non bio-degradable items.


Light & Noise Pollution Control:

Management has not taken enough steps to reduce noise and light pollution.



Bio-Diversity Conservation Projects:

To date, Rewestern Holiday village has not been active in supporting Bio-Diversity Conservation Projects in the surrounding area. Due to being located close to Knuckles World Heritage Forest, there is ample opportunity to initiate Bio-Diversity conservation projects to help native species as well as educate the locals to protect the habitat.
