To celebrate this year’s International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, pioneering transformative wellness destination, Chiva-Som Hua Hin, took further significant steps towards environmental sustainability.
On July 26, 2024, the team from Chiva-Som, along with local youth, planted 500 mangrove trees at the Krailart Niwate Mangrove Project. This annual mangrove reforestation initiative underscores Chiva-Som’s commitment to sustainability and highlights the vital role of mangroves in preserving Hua Hin’s and the world’s ecosystems. This year, Chiva-Som enhanced its efforts by involving youths from the local community in the initiative. Twenty students from the local Wat Nong Kae Municipal School participated in planting 500 mangrove trees, representing 10 different species.
In conjunction with their long-standing tradition of celebrating the International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, Chiva-Som also organised a visit to Pran Buri Forest Park for 80 members of the 13th Junior Ambassadors of The Preserve Hua Hin Group. The group engaged in activities focused on restoring and conserving natural resources, such as mangrove and beach forest ecosystems, with initiatives including beach reforestation and releasing blue crabs into the wild.
Throughout its nearly three decades of existence, Chiva-Som has upheld the vision that ‘wellness must go hand in hand with sustainability.’ This vision is infused not only into the guest journey at the resort but also into its daily operations and outreach to local communities.
