Infrastructure That Gets Out of the Way
Every neighbourhood will be designed so that every essential service — food, healthcare, workspace, school — is within an 800-metre walk. No roads adjacent to the beach. No buildings above four storeys. No loud music after 9pm. The island's rules are its design.
Low-Density by Law, Not Aspiration
Hotel plots will be capped at 15 rooms per hectare. Residential at 20 units per hectare. Minimum 25% green space per cluster. Beachfront: two storeys maximum, pedestrian paths only. These are not guidelines — they are constitutional conditions of the SEZ concession.
39,000 People. 96.5% of the Island.
The Mentawai people are the reason the island is worth protecting. The programme will be built around genuine communication, deep respect, and a shared understanding of how development benefits their communities — on their terms, in their language, at their pace.
Rewild the Island. Heal the People.
Siberut's forests are still being stripped — legally and illegally. The programme will work to end all logging on the island, buy out existing concessions, and return cleared land to wilderness. In parallel: the eradication of malaria and malnutrition — two preventable crises that have defined life here for generations.
"The best thing about this island is what will never be built on it."
