Environment Capacity Building for Saa Paper Production
16 target community groups are situated in the Yom and Nan River basin.Both are two major tributaries of the Gulf of Thailand?s Chaophaya River. One prominent community livelihood involves the production of Saa Paper whose raw material is obtained from a somewhat endemic species ?Saa? tree(Mulberry). The production requires chemical processes whose waste is rated as a very high toxic.
As the demand for the paper is increasing, both in local and international market, unplanned and increasing production at community level is posing ecological threat, first at local level ,but then will gradually reach downstream communities and contribute to the degradation of the Gulf of Thailand.

In essence, the theme will stress on toxic-free, cleaner technology and energy-saving production.However,in
