Redang Island Conservation Day (RICD 2020) is an annual CSR event organised by The Taaras Beach & Spa Resort which will be held from 3 - 5 April 2020, after a successful one in 2019. The objective of this event is to preserve the island’s marine environment, as well as the land around it.

In 2019, a total of 70 participants, media, sponsors, supporters and volunteers came together and did their part to give back to Mother Nature. With Trash Hero Malaysia as the NGO Partner, representatives from Berjaya Tioman Resort, Jabatan Taman Laut Malaysia and Polis Diraja Malaysia were present to show their support towards the event. Also present to grace and support this event was Y.A.M Tengku Datin Paduka Setia Zatashah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, Royal Patron for Redang Island Conservation Day.

Divers involved in RICD 2019 performed three underwater clean-ups, two at The Taaras House Reef and one in the wreck. Putting all efforts to clear the marine debris underwater, divers were also on the lookout for ghost nets and Crown of Thorns (COT) which are a constant threat to our marine life.

Meanwhile, non-divers did their part by cleaning up the beach as much as they could to ensure that washed up trash from the ocean was cleared from the beach to prevent it from going back to the sea, which could negatively affect the growth of the corals and endanger the marine life living around the area. In total, three clean-ups were conducted in Teluk Kerma.

The Taaras Beach and Spa Resort, the only 5-star resort in Redang Island with a private beach, managed by Berjaya Group of Hotels & Resorts, aims to contribute towards preserving these coral reefs in the island. It is through this objective that we have and hold dearly to our hearts, have made Redang Island Conservation Day 2019 a reality with the help of our partner, sponsors and supporters. RICD 2020 will be a continuation of this effort which we hope will continue in years to come.
