On 14 August 2025, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF Thailand) participated in the 1st National Park Committee Meeting of the year, together with committee members, board members, and representatives from Protected Area Regional Offices nationwide, at the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
WWF Thailand’s CEO, Ms. Pimpavadee Phaholyothin, was officially appointed as a board member to the National Park Committee. This marks another significant milestone for WWF Thailand as an organisation that has been working on nature conservation for over 25 years, as it steps forward to actively support collaborative efforts in conserving biodiversity and safeguarding Thailand’s natural resources.
In the meeting, the committee endorsed the expansion of 26 national parks across Thailand, advancing the national goal of increasing forest conservation areas to 25% of the country’s total land area, in line with the National Forestry Policy. All actions follow legal procedures, relevant regulations, and Cabinet resolutions.
WWF Thailand is committed to working closely with the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, local communities, and partner organisations to protect, conserve, and restore forests and wildlife in the Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex and Dong Phayayen–Khao Yai Forest Complex World Heritage Sites.
