RumCayGreen.com is dedicated to improving awareness for Sustainable island living on the island of Rum Cay Bahamas. Sustainable island living is a process that enables everybody to enjoy a decent living and a good quality of life in terms of satisfying their needs (economic, social, ecological and cultural) and creates an enabling environment for the next generation to fulfill its aspirations.

Rum Cay is not only a beautiful, secluded island to visit, but is home to about fifty inhabitants, hundreds of species of wildlife and plant life, bush medicine and uncategorized and untapped natural resources. With the recent news of development of a six-star resort on the island and investors looking into purchasing the island’s real estate, it is important to stress the virginal island’s pureness, and do all that we can to promote natural sustainability on Rum Cay.

Sustainable island living is based on core values such as a culture of partnership based on shared vision, good governance, people’s rights, autonomy of the community, and participatory approaches. Furthermore, it attempts to bring the concept to the personal level – every individual and community member has a role to play – and in focusing on the next generation as opposed to future generations, it makes the concept more immediate as a goal to be achieved in an individual’s lifetime.

We hope that by visiting this website, you will learn about the beauty of the island and the many benefits of one of the last remaining natural habitats in the world, and find a reason to support Rum Cay Green’s vision.
