Thailand has been recognized as having rich natural resources, the
natural capital to support the countrys economic development and
the livelihood of Thai people. Tapping on its vast fertile area,
the country has been one of the players in global food production
for last four decades. However, these achievements have also had
negative consequences on biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and
human health both in rural and urban areas. Thailand: Environmental
Resources and Related Policies and Social Issues reviews the
pressures, impacts and status of selected natural resources and
environmental concerns, e.g., forest resources, coastal and marine
resources, protected areas and biodiversity, soil and land
resources, water resources, energy and climate change, and economic
instruments and modeling tools for enhancing management planning
through various contributed chapters that are organised into five
sections: Section One: Setting the Scene; Section Two: Physical
Environment and Natural Resources; Section Three: Governance and
Management; Section Four: Global Initiatives and Economic Tools;
and Section Five: Conclusions and Recommendations. In addition, the
concepts and lessons learned from case studies presented in this
book do not only provide the analytical review status, but also
identify key issues and management options for achieving the
designated national goals and international commitments on
biodiversity conservation and the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) 2030. It is hoped that this book will be
of value in terms of the necessary inputs to effectively support
the implementation of the Thai governments initiatives on moving
the country towards Thailand 4.0 or a value-based economy, as well
as the recent 20-year National Strategic Plan (2017-2036). The
contents and materials will also be of interest to individual
scientists, stakeholders, practitioners and policy-makers working
for the cause of natural resources and environmental, management
and sustainable development in Thailand and beyond.
