- Create a policy and rules in the community in order to preserve, restore, and use the community forest sustainably.
- Set up area of community forest into areas of farming and conserving area (national park or conservational park).
- Participation from local people and local government to sustainable conserve, restore and create community forest area.
- Propose renewable energy development plan to be part of local government development plan.
Capacity - Building Component
- Develop capacity in creating renewable energy in different ways for example, solar cell energy development and biogass stove. Demonstrate effective use, worthiness, and contribution to climate change problem in the future.
- Aim to develop renewable energy into community enterprise so that they will be able to product and sell the product. Thus, this will reach more people in a wider area.
Inovative Financial Mechanisms
- Document on how to build biogass stove
- Teaching about renewable energy as part of the school curriculum for secondary school students. Thus, this would allow them to have more knowledge in renewable energy.
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
- Forestation activity creates food sources for the community. People in the community can harvest from the forest which will reduce expenses and increase incomes in the family.
- Grow more green space by integrated farming helps developing agriculture, conserving environment, earn money from harvesting in the future.
- Solar cell water pumping helps providing sufficient water for farming. Thus, agriculture products grow effectively.
Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment
- Presentation of biogass stove to show its effectiveness and benefits from its usage to youth and students.
- Training for people in the community and people at district level who are interested in building biogass stove.
Linkages gef projects
Connect and exchange experiences and knowledge with community's network organization in areas of Petchabun and Loey provinces.
Project sustainability
Develop the project of Solar cell water pumping and Biogass stove into community enterprise to expand learning process and to be able to gain benefits both inside and outside of the community.
Continue activities in preserving and restoring community forest and expand to nearby communities.
Planning gef grant
Expansion of the project to a wider area. Expand the project to Ton Nam Pong area and community that live along this river since the origin to the middle of the river.
Planning non gef grant
Planing to scale up the project with other supporters but still lack of their information.
Replication of project activities
Replicate the project activities to three other communities and integrated into educational system which are high school and vocational school.
Gender Focus
The project has develop women and men roles by letting females take part as members and committees of the project. Also, invite female leaders to participate in the project very often. This helps the project gains more support especially, from family's members.
Significant Participation of Indigenous Peoples
The project has include people who are from Thai Lhom local group and people from other parts of Thailand for instance, from the Eastern and Southern part. They help contribute to manage community forest.
Notable Community Participation
Youth has been involved in the project by taking part of forestation, create community forest border and take part in exploring the forest. Participate in biogass stove making process. Youth and children will be the preserver of community environment.
Project Results
- Conservation, restoration, and usage from the forest sustainable in 8,500 rai area.
- Develop system that help preserve soil, water, and forest in Ton Nam Pong forest area for 50 plots in 500 rai area.
- Develop Solar Cell water pumping learning center for eight areas.
- Build 20 biogass stove.
- Set up a local organization that strongly help managing and developing Ton Nam Pong area.
