Capacity Building for CBOs’ Network on Management of Natural Resources in Park Phanang Basin
Approximately 304,000 ha, covering most part of Nakhornsithammarat Province and a portion of Songkhla Provine, the basin is the habitation of approximately 527,5000 people.
The project area covers a part of the basin constituting four integrated ecosystems: watershed hilly area, wetland, lowland along the Park Phanang River and coastal area and estuary. In the wake of government?s development policy, these areas have been used and degraded through mono-crop culture , inappropriate infrastructure of government project, and aqua-culture. Aiming to boost the export as promoted by the government, these activities have prompted land encroachment, unregulated application of chemicals and non-holistic development plan of government resulting in degradation of natural resources, insecurity of natural food supply , high production cost , debt and migration of population. There are many CBO?s active in the area whose main objective is to deal with at-hand financial problem.
