While the Wyss Academy for Nature’s focus in Southeast Asia currently lies in Nam Thien, Laos, since March of 2022, we have also been active in the neighboring Nan province of northern Thailand. The landscape in Nan province shows degradation due to unsustainable farming practices over the past three decades. An unprecedented demand for cash crops during the last decade is replacing natural forests.
In order to conserve these natural forests, their economic value must be enhanced – and local communities involved, so they can be sustained over the long term.
