Basic Information
Overview
This project was scaled up from the Integrated Rural Livelihood Development Model Project for Nan Province based on Royal Initiative (2009-2011). When MFLF and partner organizations achieved a certain level of success in addressing issues of poverty and hunger, the next step was to promote reforestation through the balanced utilization of land and resources in the river basin to allow a sustainable coexistence between man and forest.
This became a national model project on forest management in the north of Thailand whereby watershed forests are designated conservation forests, economic forests are planted, as well as utility forests for foraging and residential areas. When villagers have a sense of ownership, they will help to protect the forests and use them in a sustainable manner.
