Collaborating Institutions Sponsoring Institution COLLABORATING INSTITUTIONS Forest Trends (http://www.forest-trends.org): Forest Trends is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization advocating market-based approaches to conserving forests outside of protected areas. In addition to promoting markets for some of the ecosystem services, Forest Trends also supports markets for sustainably-produced forest products and markets that bolster the livelihoods of forest-based communities. To promote these markets, Forest Trends brings together leading agents in industry and finance with representatives from governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) concerned with forests. In addition, Forest Trends generates and disseminates critical information to market players in an effort to promote sustainable forestry. Center for International Forestry Research (http://www.cifor.cgiar.org): The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), based in Bogor, Indonesia, was established in 1993 as a part of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in response to global concerns about the social, environmental, and economic consequences of forest loss and degradation. CIFOR research produces knowledge and methods needed to improve the wellbeing of forest-dependent people and to help tropical countries manage their forests wisely for sustained benefits. This research is conducted in more than two dozen countries, in partnership with numerous partners. Since it was founded, CIFOR has also played a central role in influencing global and national forestry policies. The York Centre for Asian Research (http://www.yorku.ca/ycar/): The York Centre for Asian Research was created to enhance the understanding of Asia and Asian diasporas. Our goal is to raise the profile of scholarship and education about Asia and Asian diasporas through research, lectures, workshops, and other public events. YCAR also supports scholars, community groups, and other organizations working to improve social justice and welfare in Asia and among Asian communities elsewhere. Through links with NGOs, governments, and academic institutions in Asia, Canada and elsewhere, YCAR facilitates the exchange of ideas and knowledge and promotes public awareness about Asia and Asian diasporas. YCAR is a centre for information on expertise about Asia and Asian Canadians, both within York University and further afield.

From 2004-2006 he is undertaking field work on the political economy and ecology of fast-growing tree plantations and rural livelihoods in Lao PDR, with funding through Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC).

This report on Thailand’s forest sector is one of three studies undertaken by the author, which links forest resource production trends in Southeast Asian countries to China’s rapidly expanding market for forest products, in particular woodchips and pulp and paper. The other two studies examine Cambodia’s and Vietnam’s forest sectors and their links with China. For some countries in Southeast Asia, such as Cambodia, the vast majority of recent trade in forest products has taken place through what are broadly illegal means and channels. This situation poses serious challenges for efforts to document regional relationships, while at the same time making it imperative that we develop innovative ways of estimating the illegal trade in forest products and forest loss as tools for political leverage. While the case of Cambodia may be the prime example, problems around poorly documented and illegal forest harvesting and trade flows exist for each of the countries studied. In addition to continued controversies over unsustainable harvesting, forest degradation and trade in Southeast Asia, a second related source of protracted tension in Asia’s forests involves conflicting, overlapping claims to lands and resources. Often, these conflicts have their source in the efforts of colonial- era forest bureaucracies to map and demarcate state-forest land from village land without adequate consideration for customary resource use systems. Land and resources held through common property forms of tenure have been particularly under-recognized in regional legislation. As many have argued, it is the poorest who are most affected by the policies which promote such displacement.1 There remains, however, a limited capacity of Forestry Departments in the region to actually implement forest zoning on the ground, and as a result these tenure disputes have often continued unresolved to the present. In many cases this situation has contributed to contemporary conflicts between communities and forest plantation companies. Close attention to local resource tenure systems in different Southeast Asian political contexts and a fuller documentation of the nature and extent of current state-community and company-community conflicts in the region are crucial for resolving these disputes. Given the extent of overlapping claims to land and resources in the region, the emergence of a new and potentially enormous Chinese consumer and industrial demand for forest products will likely have direct implications for land, resource and livelihood security of many forest- dependent communities in Southeast Asia. Research for this project was carried out in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, over ten weeks from late June to early September 2003 and has been kept updated since then to reflect recent developments. The methodology for the research began with a search of existing literature (from available government, scholarly, NGO and corporate sources, from both libraries and internet resources) on forestry and plantation forestry developments in the region. The focus was to develop a detailed picture of national production and consumption trends and regional trading relationships, both in terms of the legal and, to the extent possible, 1Direct displacement is here taken to include both the relocation and resettlement of communities, and (more often) the direct loss of local access to livelihood resources due to project or policy implementation which do not involve community resettlement. Indirect displacement can also be important and involves the unintended consequences of project or policy implementation, for example due to associated environmental externalities. iv illegal trade. In each country a number of key state officials and forestry–sector observers (from NGOs, academics, development banks and funding agencies) were then identified for in-depth interviews. Information on the primary pulp and paper operations and woodchip mills targeting production for export were also developed for each country and officials from these firms were contacted for interviews. Efforts were made to document the capacity and actual production statistics for these industries and to match these data to information on available wood resources and company supply strategies. Where possible, efforts were also made to upgrade the documentation on resource conflicts involving states, companies and communities. The research also attempted a preliminary exploration of the wider situation with respect to the trade in forest products between China and Southeast Asia (including hardwood logs, sawn timber, veneer and panels). Throughout the research, attempts were made to identify key individuals from government, academic and NGO sectors who might contribute towards and gain further research capabilities from a wider dialogue and critical debate on the future of forests and forest-dependent communities in the region. It is hoped that this research documenting the regionalization of trade in forest and plantation forest resources in East Asia and the associated implications for both natural forests and forest-dependent communities, will contribute towards informed decision-making, by governments, companies, funding agencies, investors and social- environmental organizations, and that it will lend support for innovative policies that better integrate priorities on development, poverty, and the environment. Keith Barney Vientiane, March 2005 v OVERVIEW OF THE THAI FORESTRY SECTOR BACKGROUND ON THAI FOREST POLICY A defining moment in the recent history of Thai forest policy is certainly the logging ban of 1989.2 The logging ban was an immediate reaction to landslides in the south of Thailand, which killed over 300 people, but it is also a reflection of broader changes in Thai society,

The research findings reveal that since the city shifted from tin-mining to tourism, Thai music has been used to welcome tourists. There are three problems in the Thai music business: a) problems with Thai music troupes; b) problems with places where Thai music is performed; and c) problems with tourists. The main cause of the problems is a lack of effective cooperation between Thai music ensembles and their employers. The research makes five suggestions for musical adaptations: 1) Thai music and folk music, 2) Thai and Western music, 3) Thai music and sounds, 4) Thai music and performances, and 5) music from CDs and performances.

  • Part 2 Thailand's Response to the Tsunami
    Thousands of fishing boats, boat engines and fishing gear important to local livelihoods have been replaced through various programmes. Photo shows repaired boats in the Chao Lay village of Hin Look Dieu, Phuket. Photo: UNDP PREFACE The tragedy of the tsunami that struck Thailand’s Andaman coast on 26 December 2004, and the devastation and misery it left in its wake, is unprecedented in recent history. This disaster also brought forth an extraordinary response. Thailand, under the strong leadership of the Royal Thai Government (RTG), provided effective, efficient and comprehensive relief and humanitarian assistance to the Thai people, as well as to the large number of foreigners affected by the disaster. The scale of the disaster was matched by the generosity of the Thai people, who came forward to assist the victims of the tragedy in an extraordinary display of humanity. The Thai private sector and local NGOs also played a major role in the relief and recovery effort. Organizations and individuals from around the world contributed money and resources in support of Thailand’s response to the tsunami, and the world gratefully acknowledged the role of the RTG in dealing with the tragedy and its aftermath. Given its capacity and resources, Thailand did not appeal for international financial assistance. The international community has therefore played a relatively small but strategic role in Thailand’s tsunami recovery. The United Nations Country Team (UNCT), bilateral development agencies, and international NGOs have contributed structured support to the Royal Thai Government’s recovery efforts in areas where the RTG welcomed support from international partners: providing technical support, equipment, and direct support to the affected communities.

  • Trace Elements in Marine Sediment and Organisms in the Gulf of Thailand
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Review Trace Elements in Marine Sediment and Organisms in the Gulf of Thailand Suwalee Worakhunpiset Department of Social and Environmental Medicine, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, 420/6 Ratchavithi Rd, Bangkok 10400, Thailand; [email protected]; Tel.: +66-2-354-9100 Received: 13 March 2018; Accepted: 13 April 2018; Published: 20 April 2018 Abstract: This review summarizes the findings from studies of trace element levels in marine sediment and organisms in the Gulf of Thailand. Spatial and temporal variations in trace element concentrations were observed. Although trace element contamination levels were low, the increased urbanization and agricultural and industrial activities may adversely affect ecosystems and human health. The periodic monitoring of marine environments is recommended in order to minimize human health risks from the consumption of contaminated marine organisms. Keywords: trace element; environment; pollution; sediment; gulf of Thailand 1. Introduction Environmental pollution is an urgent concern worldwide [1]. Pollutant contamination can exert adverse effects on ecosystems and human health [2]. Trace elements are one type of pollutant released into the environment, and metal contamination levels are rising. The main sources of trace elements are natural activities such as volcanic eruptions and soil erosion, and human activities such as industrial production, waste disposal, the discharge of contaminated wastewater, the inappropriate management of electronic waste (e-waste), and the application of fertilizers in agriculture [3–7]. Once trace elements are released into the environment, they can be dispersed by the wind and deposited in soil and bodies of water, accumulating in marine sediments [8,9].

FOREWORD The diminishing fishery resources along the coasts have increasingly added more pressure to the livelihood of fisherfolk all over Asia. Moreover, increase in the number of fishers due to population growth and migration to coastal communities can be a contributing factor in the overexploitation of local fishery resources and deterioration of the coastal environment. Recognizing that better understanding on the demographic and social dynamics of coastal fishing communities would help in developing policies to achieve sustainable use and conservation of fishery resources and the coastal environment, FAO initiated a project in cooperation with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to strengthen research and training on population and development dynamics of rural fishing communities in Asia and Africa in 1995.
