Sustainable tourism in Brazil
Four students from The Kaos Pilots are going to Brazil for the their final first year project, during the month of May. Their challenge is to introduce Local-Based Tourism as a sustainable development solution for the area around the Pau Brasil National Park, in the municipality of Porto Seguro. Their month in Brazil will be focused in identifiying local cultural and natural elements that can be interesting for tourists, and identifying local leadership to start-up a social entreprise in order to explore the new possibilities around sustainable tourism.

The world of the forest - the forest in the world
During May we are going to work with the native people named Penan people on Borneo. The Penan are currently under pressure from the Malaysian government to assimilate into the Malaysian society. Additionally their home is disappearing as the government is allowing the rainforest where they live their nomadic life in to be chopped down. In the language of the Penan the word for forest also means the World; in other words, in their frames of reference the forest is everything - and now it is fading away. As a result of this they cannot continue their way of life and are also forced to move to villages and into agriculture, away from being hunter and gatherers.
All four of us were fascinated by this issue and realized the immense need for change to happen quickly, before it is too late. We are going to do this by branding the situation of the Penan people in the world as a hot topic to discuss around the dinner table. We want to create a hype around this issue, especially amongst young people.
Our main partner is Henrik Egede-Lassen, a film producer (amongst others for the National Geographic), TV host for the program the Wild World on DR1, and photographer who has executed adventure trips on all continents. He has worked with the Penan people for twenty years. We are also collaborating with others who are engaged with the Penan people such as Mikael Rothstein, a professor from Copenhagen University in historic religion who has specialized in religion in native people in Borneo.
Using material we collect ourselves and also Henrik’s we are going to make visual documentation such as viral campaigns and documentary in a playful manner to reach out to the young people. We aim to wake up those who have been paralyzed by the overload of information about similar issues and pictures of starving children in Africa by presenting the material in a playful manner. Additionally we want to show that a young person who wants to change the world really can! We are starting with changing the situation ourselves.
