Summary
Six percent of Thailand’s forests are community forests (CF) and are vital for national and regional biodiversity conservation. However, local communities lack the capacity, knowledge and incentives to sustainably manage and monitor biodiversity. This project will increase capacities and incentivize biodiversity conservation for 20 CFs with potential for upscaling nationally and regionally. The project will train communities and CF networks to assess and manage biodiversity elements in their CFs and develop pathways to benefit from biodiversity conservation.
