On May 23, 2016, the Andaman Natural Resources Conservation Foundation (ANRCF) visited the Andaman Learning Center Bead Museum in Krabi. The visit aimed to highlight the connection between cultural heritage and environmental conservation, recognizing that protecting the Andaman’s future also means valuing its past.
In May 2016, the Andaman Natural Resources Conservation Foundation (ANRCF) launched the campaign Return Orchids to the Forest in Krabi Province. This initiative focused on restoring the natural beauty and biodiversity of local forests by reintroducing native orchids into their original habitats. The project drew participation from conservationists, students, and community members who shared a common vision: to protect and revive the delicate balance of Thailand’s forest ecosystems.
On December 16, 2015, the Andaman Natural Resources Conservation Foundation (ANRCF) held a significant reforestation project at Thale Ban National Park in Satun Province. This activity formed part of the foundation’s early efforts to restore biodiversity across the Andaman region while mobilizing local communities, government agencies, and private sector partners in collective action.
Music and conservation came together on December 4, 2015, when the Andaman Natural Resources Conservation Foundation (ANRCF) hosted the Jazz for the King event at the Aksra Theatre in Bangkok. This event combined contemporary jazz performances with a conservation dialogue, honoring His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s remarkable legacy while raising awareness about the importance of protecting Thailand’s natural resources.
Forests are the lungs of the earth — and for coastal Thailand, mangroves are the shield that protects communities from erosion, storms, and the changing climate. In December 2015, the Andaman Natural Resources Conservation Foundation (ANRCF) launched Planting Forests for the King, a series of mangrove reforestation campaigns in Phuket and Phang Nga. Inspired by King Rama IX’s philosophy of “3 kinds of trees for 4 benefits,” the initiative continues to unite local people, government, and businesses in healing the coastline and preserving biodiversity.
