Six Senses Resorts & Spas announced that it will develop one of the largest reforestation projects in Southeast Asia. This is part of its initiative to the fight against climate change.

 

Six Senses has teamed up with PATT Foundation to plant over 200,000 trees per year in Chiang Mai, located in northern Thailand. The project will mitigate an estimated 160,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually by replanting 200 acres of forest every 12 months. Between 20-30 different species of trees will be planted. The project will coincide with the UN International Year of the Forest.

 

Six Senses Resorts & Spas CEO and Chairman, Sonu Shivdasani, was quoted in AsiaTravelTips.com as having said that Six Senses’ support for the Chiang Mai reforestation project underlines their commitment to becoming a decarbonising company by 2020.
