Uncontrolled and unethical fishing and logging have caused devastation on the largest lake in Indonesia. Lake Toba has been polluted
more than ever. Lake Toba has the potential to be next Bali that attracts many opportunities in the tourism sector. However, in order to
achieve that level of attraction like Bali, there is preparationsand process need to be dealt with. So the aim of this project is to build a
crowdsourcing platform to help the local and government to restore Lake Toba’s mother nature, which would create opportunities for a
tourist destination in the future. In order to gather the information, we form focus groups to go around Lake Toba to conduct interviews
and surveys. There will also be a campaign website that gets help from international organizations and experienced people around the
world to help solve this issue. So with both internal and external crowdsourcing method, we hope to gather the most useful information
to help the local tackle the pollution and help them restore its environment with the goal of attracting tourist around the world to Lake
Toba.

The aim of our project is to make use of crowd idea sourcing platform that would encourage and involve Lake Toba locals in contributing
ideas for the restoration of Lake Toba. Lake Toba is known as the second largest lake in the world. Despite that, Lake Toba has not gained
any cognition internationally as Bali is known for. In fact, locals in Lake Toba are facing environmental degradation as water quality keep
decreasing, a huge amount of fishes turned up dead, and widespread deforestation. We believe that getting ideas from locals, not limited to
tourists, are crucial to let the government know about the current conditions of Lake Toba and what problem needed to be solved. We are
planning to organize several events in Lake Toba that will attract foreigners and locals to take part in the development of Lake Toba. In the
end of the events, locals and foreigners will be prompted to fill in survey form about their experiences and what needs to be improved in
Lake Toba. We will also deploy our website using Gamification technique forcommunities to build a stronger relationship with Lake Toba
locals and acquire plenty of ideas. Finally, we believe Lake Toba will develop to be the better place for the local and international
destination, even more realistic, 8th Wonders in the world!
