Overview
Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn requested that MFLF collaborate with the Chaipattana Foundation to conduct research into tea oil trees, a high-yield crop, in the villages of Pang Mahan and Puna, Mae Fah Luang District.
The local villagers would tend the trees to create a knowledge center and lay the foundation for a long-term livelihood while protecting the ecological system in the country’s northern forests. The project applied the “Natural Tree Regeneration” method to allow nature to heal itself, and developed an irrigation system, promoted agriculture and basic livestock to achieve food stability and a sustainable coexistence between man and forest.
