Section 3. presents 9 individual case studies which are the result of implementation based on the process and working steps described in section 2. These case studies have all be researched and written by technical field staff who have worked with TG-HDP in the Nam Lang and Huai Poo Ling target areas. The first 6 cases focus on how CLM has actually been implemented at village, inter-village network and tambon (sub-district) levels. Although the CLM programme was initiated on a test run basis in 1989, the most interesting developments have occurred since 1994 when CLM was expanded to include all 26 target villages in Nam Lang and Huai Poo Ling areas. Subsequently, as the project has approached its completion in 1998, several changes have occurred which have broadened the focus of community based natural resource management. In particular, de-centralisation of administrative responsibility within Thai government system to Tambon level has led to the newly established Tambon Administrative Organisations (TAO S ) starting to pay attention to resource management issues. Secondly, the general capacity and confidence of community leadership has been enhanced over the past years of interaction with the project. One outcome has been the establishment of inter-village networks by the community leaders themselves. The role of TG-HDP staff in dealing with these recent developments has involved a gradual change from initiator to facilitator as local people's organisations have increasingly been taking their own initiatives. The first 4 case studies are drawn from Pang Ma Pha district, Mae Hong Son province, which is located adjacent to the border with Burma and has a mixed population comprising Lahu, Lisu, Shan, Karen and Hmong ethnic minorities. The studies detail the experiences of resource management in 2 particular villages since 1995 and describe the emergence of an inter-village network and the involvement of a TAO in this issue. Two further case studies describe the situation in Tambon Huai Poo Ling, Muang district, Mae Hong Son province, an area which is ethnically homogenous as all its inhabitants belong to the Karen minority. One case study deals with the area as a whole and describes the conservation nature of the traditional Karen resource management system, whilst the second case focuses on one particular village. The seventh and eighth case studies were prepared in 1996. They review the contrasting agricultural production systems and changes that have taken place in 2 villages, 1 in Pang Ma Pha and the other in Huai Poo Ling. The final case is an article prepared in late 1997 for inclusion in a book entitled "Using Incentives in Soil Conservation" which is to be published by the World Association of Soil and Water Conservation (WASWC) in 1998. Summary of case studies presented in this volume 1. Ban Bor Krai, Pang Ma Pha district Ban Bor Krai is a village inhabited by the black Lahu ethnic minority. It was established in its present location by households moving from a neighbouring village some 20 years ago. The village is situated within the Pai wildlife sanctuary and has limited land which is suitable for agriculture. Since its establishment, the villagers have had to cope with supervision by officials from the wildlife sanctuary and more recently with the suppression of opium cultivation find alternative sources of income. The village is located close to the main Chiang Mai - Mae Hong Son highway. CLM was introduced in 1995 and the village rapidly proceeded to assess its resource use situation and develop long term land use plans encompassing watershed catchment area, community forest, multi-purpose forest, product collection, agricultural, fruit tree and grazing areas. Several resource improvement activities such as tree planting, fencing and improving grazing areas, establishing rules and regulations for forest product use and establishing soil and water conservation measures have been undertaken. This community was part of an initial network of 3 villages which joined together to manage the collection and sale of bamboo shoots. Its leaders have been instrumental in the formation of the Pang Ma Pha Hilltribe Network Organisation. 2. Ban Huai Hea, Pang; Ma Pha district The people of Ban Huai Hea also belong to the black Lahu ethnic minority. The village is located in national forest reserve on the border with Burma to its north. The area around the present village was originally settled some 50 years ago by families Page 3 of 65 from Chiang Mai province and neighbouring Burma in the search of fertile land on which to grow opium. The villagers have traditionally cleared forest in fertile areas, and exercised little management or control over their natural resources. Land use and potential assessment carried out as part of the CLM process identified the fact that there was an area of 400- 500 rais with the potential to be developed for irrigated paddy rice production. This was particularly important as the villagers were under increasing pressure to cease cultivating rice and opium across the border in Burma. The process also highlighted that the village water supply was being reduced as a result of farmers cultivating in the water catchment area. Land use planning involved development of the potential paddy land, enclosing and replanting the watershed catchment area, the development of a communal grazing area for livestock, the establishment of fruit tree orchards and the expansion of soil and water conservation measures. The implementation of activities is described as is the resolutions of land use disputes with neighbouring villages. 3. The Pang Ma Pha Hilltribe Network Organisation This network organisation was only established in its present form during 1997. It has 4 sections comprising natural resource and environment, drug prevention and control, education and dormitory, and cultural and traditions. The natural resource and environment section has its roots in the establishment of a forum between 3 neighbouring villages involved in the harvested and sale of bamboo shoots. Rules and regulations were established and monthly meetings were held, rotating the location between villages. The news of this forum began to spread to the leaders of other neighbouring communities who expressed their desire to also participate as members. As the membership increased, initially from 3 to 6 villages, so also did the scope of resource management issue being considered. Other problems such as land use conflicts, forest encroachment in watershed catchments and livestock grazing over village boundaries were also raised. As the network grew its efficiency to deal with particular issues declined. A more formal working committee therefore had to be established to improve efficiency and coordinate the TAO and agencies at district level. The overall network now encompasses 20 villages and it has already become involved in many activities including, village boundary definition, forest fire prevention, tree planting in water catchment areas, monitoring of forest cover in catchments, solving inter-village land conflicts, establishing NRM rules and regulations in Tambon Pang Ma Pha and developing an action plan to resolve land use conflicts, improve resource management in a number of villages and conduct regular forums during 1998. 4. Tambon Tham Lod, Pang Ma Pha district Tambon Tham Lod comprises 7 official and 2 satellite villages. The population includes red Lahu, Shan and Karen ethnic minorities. Three of the villages were established more than 100 years ago, whilst the others have been in their present locations for only 15 or so years. Areas belonging to the Pai wildlife sanctuary, Tham Lod forest park and national forest reserve are all found in the tambon. Much of the land use has been characterised by shifting cultivation, illegal logging, timber cutting and commercial trading of forest products such as tree bark. Tambon Tham Lod had never previously played a role in natural resource management.

  • Addition of Liopeltis Stoliczkae (Sclater, 1891) (Squamata: Colubridae) to the Herpetofauna of Thailand, with Notes on Its Distribution and Natural History
    NAT. HIST. BULL. SIAM SOC. 63(2): 127–140, 2019 ADDITION OF LIOPELTIS STOLICZKAE (SCLATER, 1891) (SQUAMATA: COLUBRIDAE) TO THE HERPETOFAUNA OF THAILAND, WITH NOTES ON ITS DISTRIBUTION AND NATURAL HISTORY Sjon Hauser1 ABSTRACT The colubrid snake Liopeltis stoliczkae (Sclater, 1891) is reported for the first time from Thailand. Over the years 2004 –2018 more than twenty road-killed and four living specimens of L. stoliczkae were spotted at a dozen of localities in six different provinces of northern Thailand. They were photographed, and relatively intact road-killed specimens were collected and preserved as vouchers. The present and past records of L. stoliczkae in northeastern India, Myanmar and Indochina are discussed for the long absence of records of the species in northern Thailand in spite of an apparently higher abundance there than in other parts of its range. Keywords: Colubridae, Liopeltis stoliczkae, Liopeltis tricolor, northern Thailand, biogeography INTRODUCTION The colubrid snake genus Liopeltis Fitzinger, 1843 is currently believed to consist of six valid species distributed in South Asia, southern China, and mainland and insular Southeast Asia as far eastwards as the Philippine Archipelago (WALLACH ET AL., 2014). These species have heads that are moderately distinct from the necks, and small cylindrical, slender and elongate bodies and tails, and their total body length rarely exceeds 70 cm. The dorsal scales are smooth and in 15 rows at midbody (BOULENGER, 1894; LEVITON, 1964). Due to their small size, brown color and their secretive habits, little is known about these snakes. Two species of the genus are known to occur in Thailand, Liopeltis tricolor (Schlegel, 1837) and L.

Auf Regierungsseite zeichnet sich die Politik durch unterschiedliche Interessen der Walderhaltung einerseits und Integration von ethnischen Minderheiten andererseits aus. Die Bergstämme ihrerseits erstreben Landsicherheit um ihre Subsistenzwirtschaft zu sichern. Somit geht es um Mediation und Konfliktresolution zur Überwindung der Dichotomie zwischen Waldschutz und landwirtschaftlicher Subsistenz. Trotz des fehlenden politischen Rahmens, hat es eine Verschiebung zu mehr partizipativen Ansätzen bei der Entwicklung des Hochlands gegeben, zum Beispiel Community Based Land Use Planning and Local Watershed Management (CLM) des Thai-German Highland Development Programe (TG-HDP) in der Provinz Mae Hong Son. Dieses Forschungsprojekt hat den CLM-Ansatz mit GIS kombiniert um jenseits der Demarkierung von Landtypen die Dorfebene mit höheren Planungsebenen zu verbinden, wie die sich etablierenden Tambon (Sub-Distrikt) Administrative Organisations.
