@Ahmed(attu). If your comment was directed at Bluepeace, please check the date when this blog post was published. We are a politically neutral organisation and we will raise concerns on environmental issues regardless of the political party in power.

Rite. Use any kind of means to stop government projects. How else can the Thugs of 30 years can come back to power. when hulhumale’ was developed no one spoke of any environmental issues. But now that our president is trying every possible way to make this country a better place, talk shit about him. You people should rot in hell.

This is so sad and disturbing at the same time, my point of views that this destruction of these beautiful islands all boils down to greed. I visited Kuredu in 1996 and Kurumathi 1999 these two beautiful islands had the basics and what a pleasure to experience. There were a few luxuries, were some of the rooms had air con and fridges…this was good enough to have a fantastic holiday, why build so many extravagant hotels ..are there not enough ? are there any more deserted islands ? I feel a certain amount of these islands should be kept just as they are. and if there is no land to build so be it.

Have you… ever… thought about…

a ***G R E E N P A R T Y*** in the Maldives? !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just read that another two parties are going to come up… they just need (correct me if I’m wrong) 3000 members?

Sorry to say but the Environment Ministry is quite limited in their actions, as far as I can judge. With whoever I have talked I can say: they WANT to do more, but I think their hands are cut off from… well… probably… you know who I mean……!

Bluepeace is doing a great job, and I’m sure there will be someone who can go into politics with these topics, and raise some awareness!

By the way – last time I was in Maldives the programme Nala nala rajjee was just coming up.
CAN ANYONE SEE MORE DUSTBINS NOW IN MALE, or in VILINGILI?????

No wonder why streets and beaches of inhabited islands are so dirty, it’s hard for me to find simple dustbins there.
Anyone thought about that??? Why is that??????? Simple DUSTBINS!

This is a serious issue to be raised. The research is superb. The issue of the impact on marine ecosystem is something that we all MUST raise it to the whole of the nation. Like Verena has said, I think the issue must be shared with the whole country on TV, radio and the papers. This is because only a handful of people can get access to the internet or can read English.

I guess, Blue Peace has been doing a great deal of the good and really beneficial researches, so why not we guys those who can get access to the media also try our best to spread the awareness.

Cheers,

maybe bluepeace should become more acive, like green peace in the UK , Japan & in France. Writing articles will not get to the ears of money hungry officials. Activism is required in environmental issues in this age. And this activism to stop environmental disasters wilol be covered by world press and make headline news, thus generating much needed publicity & international support ! good luck & were waiting for your membership drive for activists !

And to think the World Bank has only recently approved a US$12.5 m loan for Maldives environment sector. Do they know what’s happening to our environment, or are they being delibrately misled.

THe Damn government and the scrooges in the top of big companies see $$$ when ever they see an island. They cant see the marine and terrestrial creatures that balance the eco system and the pure existence of the island. Their lack of general knowledge and passion for life and humanity leaves them blind and in the wake of eco tourism!!! There are so many islands uninhabited and potential for waste management tourism and other purposes without affecting the natural balance. Their are alternative methods and choices that need a little investment and at sometimes though cheaper it need a little education and awareness. EIA is a JOKE.Its a mechanism for making money. Even private companies who might actually do an honest EIA get paid for doing it but their recommendations are given a blind eye.The seawall project is another failure. We need scientists and researchers looking into alternative methods for protecting the reefs. NOT Seawalls that damage the reef and affect the natural currents and lead to ambiguous beach erosion.WE NEED AND OVER HAUL OF THE SYSTEM!!!
