  • Smallholders and Forest Landscape Restoration in Upland Northern Thailand
    102 International Forestry Review Vol.19(S4), 2017 Smallholders and forest landscape restoration in upland northern Thailand A. VIRAPONGSEa,b aMiddle Path EcoSolutions, Boulder, CO 80301, USA bThe Ronin Institute, Montclair, NJ 07043, USA Email: [email protected] SUMMARY Forest landscape restoration (FLR) considers forests as integrated social, environmental and economic landscapes, and emphasizes the produc- tion of multiple benefits from forests and participatory engagement of stakeholders in FLR planning and implementation. To help inform application of the FLR approach in upland northern Thailand, this study reviews the political and historical context of forest and land manage- ment, and the role of smallholders in forest landscape management and restoration in upland northern Thailand. Data were collected through a literature review, interviews with 26 key stakeholders, and three case studies. Overall, Thai policies on socioeconomics, forests, land use, and agriculture are designed to minimize smallholders’ impact on natural resources, although more participatory processes for land and forest management (e.g. community forests) have been gaining some traction. To enhance the potential for FLR success, collaboration processes among upland forest stakeholders (government, NGOs, industry, ethnic minority smallholders, lowland smallholders) must be advanced, such as through innovative communication strategies, integration of knowledge systems, and most importantly, by recognizing smallholders as legitimate users of upland forests. Keywords: North Thailand, smallholders, forest management, upland, land use Politique forestière et utilisation de la terre par petits exploitants dans les terres hautes de la Thaïlande du nord A. VIRAPONGSE Cette étude cherche à comprendre le contexte politique de la gestion forestière dans les terres hautes de la Thaïlande du nord, et l’expérience qu’ont les petits exploitants de ces politiques.

Atlas of Trafficking in Mainland Southeast Asia Drug trafficking in and out of the Golden Triangle Pierre-Arnaud Chouvy CNRS-Prodig (Maps 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 25, 31) The Golden Triangle is the name given to the area of mainland Southeast Asia where most of the world‟s illicit opium has originated since the early 1950s and until 1990, before Afghanistan‟s opium production surpassed that of Burma. It is located in the highlands of the fan-shaped relief of the Indochinese peninsula, where the international borders of Burma, Laos, and Thailand, run. However, if opium poppy cultivation has taken place in the border region shared by the three countries ever since the mid-nineteenth century, it has largely receded in the 1990s and is now confined to the Kachin and Shan States of northern and northeastern Burma along the borders of China, Laos, and Thailand.

  • Exam Preparation Program (EPOP)
    Exam Preparation Program (EPOP) is the flagship of Thabyay E-learning Platform that provides university and test preparation services for committed, community-minded individuals in Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia who would like to improve their professional and academic knowledge. The students are from different cities of Myanmar, and from refugee camps and migrant learning centers of Thailand-Myanmar border areas. EPOP is accepting the application for new semester which will begin in Mar 2016. Over the last few months, we made an intensive effort to expand our services outside of major cities in an effort to reach community development workers in Myanmar working in more remote locations where academic English and test preparation services were not available. We have been able to expand services into states and divisions inside Burma where we previously did not have connections. Furthermore, the discussion and initial collaboration has been taking with our prospective partners of Thai-Myanmar borders Mae Sai, Tachileik and Ranong for the opportunity for further studies of marginalized ethnic migrant youths. A migrant learning center in Ranong EPOP’s online learning approach offers blended services comprising self-study, distance learning and classroom-based short courses that can be delivered to individuals in any location in Myanmar and Thailand seeking to acquire the qualifications required for entrance to universities in Asia. Every EPOP student is provided a comprehensive packet of learning materials that includes multiple textbooks, accompanying audio CDs, and a student handbook. The EPOP Online Portal, Moodle based online learning management system, provides students access to their courses online. After logging in, students can view their weekly assignments, take online quizzes and tests, participate in discussion forums, download the answer sheets to their weekly assignments, and access additional learning materials.

  • Regional Development of the Golden and Emerald Triangle Areas: Thai Perspective
    CHAPTER 6 Regional Development of the Golden and Emerald Triangle Areas: Thai Perspective Nucharee Supatn This chapter should be cited as: Supatn, Nucharee, 2012. “Regional Development of the Golden and Emerald Triangle Areas: Thai Perspective.” In Five Triangle Areas in The Greater Mekong Subregion, edited by Masami Ishida, BRC Research Report No.11, Bangkok Research Center, IDE- JETRO, Bangkok, Thailand. CHAPTER 6 REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE GOLDEN AND EMERALD TRIANGLE AREAS: THAI PERSPECTIVES Nucharee Supatn INTRODUCTION Regarding international cooperation in the Greater Mekong Sub-region, two triangle areas of the three bordering countries also exist in Thailand. The first is known as the “Golden Triangle” of Myanmar, Lao PDR, and Thailand. It was known as the land of opium and the drug trade in a previous era. The second, the “Emerald Triangle,” includes areas of Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Thailand. In addition, there is also the “Quadrangle Area” of China, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Thailand which is an extension of the Golden Triangle. Though there is no border between China and Thailand, there is cooperation in trading, drug and criminal control, and also the development of regional infrastructure, especially in the North-South Economic Corridor (NSEC) and the 4th Thai-Laos Friendship Bridge which is currently under construction. Figure 1 shows the location of the two triangles. The circled area indicates the Golden Triangle, which is located in the upper-north of Thailand, whereas the Emerald Triangle is in the northeastern region of the country. However, as these two triangles are located in different regions of Thailand with different characteristics and contexts, the discussions of each region are presented separately.

Economic interdependence between Thailand and neighboring countries is growing through border customhouses. As a policy, Thailand is trying to stimulate trade and investment with neighboring countries following the ACMECS (Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy) scheme. In this report, first, movement of people and goods at the borders will be examined. Second, clarification of where and how development is proceeding will be presented. Last, this study will attempt to review the perspectives of policies on neighboring countries after Thaksin.
