Book Synopsis Deforestation in Thailand by : Frederic P. Miller
Download or read book Deforestation in Thailand written by Frederic P. Miller and published by Betascript Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Between 1945 and 1975 forest cover in Thailand dropped from 61% to 34% of the country's land area. Over the next 11 years Thailand lost close to 28% of all of their remaining forests. This means that they were losing 3.1% of their forest cover each year over that period. Northern Thailand, the most heavily forested region of the country was not subject to central government and settlement until the second half of the Nineteenth Century. Prior to settlement it was a sparsely populated resource-rich region. When looking at cases of deforestation most people associate the rapid loss of forests with the increasing demand for wood as a resource for industry and development, Thailand presents a somewhat different situation in that deforestation can be tied to political, economic and societal factors. Much of Thailand's recent economic improvement can be attributed to increased agricultural production for export. The country was able to increase production by clearing much of their forests and converting them to cropland.
Book Synopsis Forest Guardians, Forest Destroyers by : Tim Forsyth
Download or read book Forest Guardians, Forest Destroyers written by Tim Forsyth and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this far-reaching examination of environmental problems and politics in northern Thailand, Tim Forsyth and Andrew Walker analyze deforestation, water supply, soil erosion, use of agrochemicals, and biodiversity in order to challenge popularly held notions of environmental crisis. They argue that such crises have been used to support political objectives of state expansion and control in the uplands. They have also been used to justify the alternative directions advocated by an array of NGOs. In official and alternative discourses of economic development, the peoples living in Thailand's hill country are typically cast as either guardians or destroyers of forest resources, often depending on their ethnicity. Political and historical factors have created a simplistic, misleading, and often scientifically inaccurate environmental narrative: Hmong farmers, for example, are thought to exhibit environmentally destructive practices, whereas the Karen are seen as linked to and protective of their ancestral home. Forsyth and Walker reveal a much more complex relationship of hill farmers to the land, to other ethnic groups, and to the state. They conclude that current explanations fail to address the real causes of environmental problems and unnecessarily restrict the livelihoods of local people. The authors' critical assessment of simplistic environmental narratives, as well as their suggestions for finding solutions, will be valuable in international policy discussions about environmental issues in rapidly developing countries. Moreover, their redefinition of northern Thailand's environmental problems, and their analysis of how political influences have reinforced inappropriate policies, demonstrate new ways of analyzing how environmental science and knowledge are important arenas for political control. This book makes valuable contributions to Thai studies and more generally to the fields of environmental science, ecology, geography, anthropology, and political science, as well as to policy making and resource management in the developing world.

Book Synopsis How the Location of Roads and Protected Areas Affects Deforestation in North Thailand by : Maureen Cropper
Download or read book How the Location of Roads and Protected Areas Affects Deforestation in North Thailand written by Maureen Cropper and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Establishing protected areas (national parks together with wildlife sanctuaries) in North Thailand did not reduce the likelihood of forest clearing, but wildlife sanctuaries may have reduced the probability of deforestation. Where new roads are located affects how much of a threat they are to protected areas.Using plot-level data, Cropper, Puri, and Griffiths estimate a bivariate probit model to explain land clearing and the siting of protected areas in North Thailand in 1986.Their model suggests that protected areas (national parks together with wildlife sanctuaries) did not reduce the likelihood of forest clearing, but wildlife sanctuaries may have reduced the probability of deforestation.Road building, by reducing the impedance-weighted distance to market, has promoted clearing, especially near the forest fringe.The authors simulate the impact of further road building to show where road building is likely to have the greatest impact on forest clearing and where it is likely to threaten protected areas.This paper - a product of Infrastructure and Environment, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to examine factors affecting deforestation in developing countries. The study was funded by the Bank's Research Support Budget under the research project quot;Spatial Models of Environmental Processes: A Study of Deforestation in Thailandquot; (RPO 683-17).

Book Synopsis The Ordination of a Tree by : Susan M. Darlington
Download or read book The Ordination of a Tree written by Susan M. Darlington and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thai Buddhist monks wrap orange clerical robes around trees to protect forests. "Ordaining" a tree is a provocative ritual that has become the symbol of a small but influential monastic movement aimed at reversing environmental degradation and the unsustainable economic development and consumerism that fuel it. This book examines the evolution of this movement from the late 1980s to the present, exploring the tree ordination and other rituals used to resist destructive national projects. Susan M. Darlington explores monks' motivations, showing how they interpret their lived religion as the basis of their actions, and provides an in-depth portrait of activist monk Phrakhru Pitak Nanthakhun. The obstacles monks face, including damage to their reputations, arrest, and even assassination, reveal the difficulty of enacting social justice. Even the tree ordination itself must now withstand its appropriation for state projects. Despite this, monks have gone from individual action to a loosely allied movement that now works with nongovernmental organizations. This is a fascinating, firsthand account of engaged Buddhism.
