It’s been 10 years since the Boxing Day tsunami swept across parts of southern Thailand killing more than 8,000 people and destroying the livelihoods of many more. “I was working in another town nearby when I got the call from someone warning that the big wave slammed the costal. I can remember that terrible day as if it happened yesterday.” -Kaew, a Moken community member from Thailand who lost her family members in the Tsunami. Developed with the support of Plan Thailand, the Moken community have incorporated their natural habitat into a fully developed eco-tourism operation, inviting outsiders to better understand how the Moken communities live and use the mangroves and sea for their livelihoods: plan-international.org/moken #Tsunami10years #Tsunami
