The development progress over the past several decades has often occurred at the expense of its natural resource systems. Forests, seashores and wetlands have been damaged and various types of development infrastructure have replaced natural environments. Economic priorities took precedence over conservation. Protected areas are the last remaining bastions of Thailand’s vital natural resource systems. Thailand’s protected area system was inaugurated in the 1960s following the enactment of the Wild Animals Reservation and Protection Act (1960) and the National Parks Act (1961). However, area gazettal only began in the 1980s, by which time the nation’s forests had already begun to be substantially degraded and fragmented, primarily due to logging, agricultural expansion and settlement. Among the primary reasons for gazetting protected sites was the conservation of biological diversity and critical habitat. Contiguous forest areas were already downsized to the extent that gazetted sites tended to be mostly small and mid-sized. Wetlands areas and brackish and freshwater coastal sites tended to be underrepresented. There was less deliberate effort to ensure that specific bio-geographical zones and habitats were sufficiently represented in the system. From 1989 onwards, the protected area system has been expanded rapidly as a result of the logging ban and other government conservation policies. Up to October 2002, the system was managed and supervised by the Royal Forest Department (RFD). Since 2002, protected areas have been managed
