Forest Preservation
It is said that the real wealth of nature can be touched only in a forest. Since the forest brings enormous benefits to mankind and animals, if the entire forest is destroyed, then the world will suffer severe drought which will eventually lead to the extinction of all beings on earth.
Prior to 1961, the kingdom of Thailand had an abundant forest area of about 53.33% of the country's total area. Unfortunately, a 1988 satellite photo survey showed that forest areas in Thailand had diminished to only about 28.03% of the country's total land area. Most of the devasted forest areas are located in the northeast, the north, the upper part of the central plains and the west ; where there was an extensive slash - and - burn agricultural practice by villagers and illegal log poaching.
