Plastic Collection Initiative
Tourists leave their trace. With Traveling Socotra you won’t. Traveling to the island should be more sustainable. For everyone.
Our goal
Next season we aim to collect another 500kg of plastic waste
Our co-founder Ali is an experienced environmentalist and we organize multiple clean-ups per season. We want to bring both awareness to the plastic waste problem on the island and help with the solution.
For every traveler booking with us, a big bag of plastic will be removed. Help us reach our goal again next season!
Happy to report that we have collected a record 532kg in the 2025-2026 season, which is truly amazing and thanks to the ongoing efforts of our local team together with the many customers who were willing to lend a hand!

Long-term impact
Plastic collected over the seasons
Last season only tells part of the story. This chart shows how much plastic has been collected during each collection period, helping track progress over time and highlight our ongoing effort to protect Socotra’s pristine eco-system.
By recording each season’s total, we can see the momentum is growing. Time to celebrate the work already done, and keep building towards cleaner beaches, healthier marine life and a more sustainable future for the island.
