Madifushi Private Island has launched a major sustainability initiative, aiming to plant 5,000 coconut palms throughout the islands of Meemu Atoll over the next year. The project kicked off on November 25th at M. Rayimandhoo. With participation from Madifushi Private Island management, MIC Group board members, and local council representatives.
Strengthening Community Ties Through Sustainability
Ibrahim Shareef Mohamed, Managing Director of MIC Group, expressed his gratitude to local councils for their support. He highlighted the company’s commitment to fostering strong community relationships.
“We are deeply thankful to the councils for the support they have shown to our team. It is our commitment to reciprocate this kindness by working closely with the communities in the atoll. Providing opportunities, and strengthening our collaboration. Under our CSR responsibility, we aim to forge stronger relationships between the group, the resort, and the islands of Meemu Atoll.”
This initiative is about environmental responsibility and community empowerment. MIC Group’s General Manager, Ali Shakir, restated the importance of the coconut palm planting project as a key step towards achieving these goals.
Madifushi Private Island is collaborating with local communities to identify key planting areas across Meemu Atoll, such as mosques, schools, newly reclaimed lands, and the future domestic airport. The selected islands include Dhiggaru, Raiymandhoo, Mulah, Veyvah, Naalaafushi, Maduvvaree, Muli, Kolhufushi, and Madifushi itself. This initiative aligns with the Maldives government’s broader goal of planting 5 million trees, as announced by President H.E. Dr. Mohamed Muizzu on World Environment Day.
Commitment to Responsible Tourism
In addition to its luxury offerings, Madifushi Private Island remains dedicated to eco-friendly practices. Mohamed Hilmy, General Manager of the resort, stated,
“As caretakers of this pristine island paradise, we believe in taking proactive measures to maintain its ecological balance and cultural richness. Through our collective efforts, we are not only planting trees but also fostering a legacy of sustainability and resilience.”
This tree-planting project demonstrates Madifushi’s broader commitment to responsible tourism and sustainability, making a lasting impact on both the environment and the communities of Meemu Atoll.
