Local Restoration Knowledge Highlighted at International Workshop

Asst.Prof. Dr.Wirongrong Duangjai has been invited to deliver a presentation at the International Workshop on Forest Landscape Restoration: Challenges, Opportunities and Success Stories, held in hybrid mode on 13 March 2026 at the Seminar Hall, College of Forestry, Ponnampet. According to the programme, the presentation is scheduled as Session III from 12.20 to 12.45 pm (IST).

At the workshop, Asst. Prof. Wirongrong Duangjai will speak on “Indigenous and Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Restoration Practices,” focusing on small-scale, locally based, farmer-led restoration experiences in Thailand, while also drawing connections to broader Southeast Asian contexts.

The presentation reflects the growing importance of Indigenous and traditional ecological knowledge in contemporary restoration efforts. By highlighting farmer-led practices in Thailand, the talk will demonstrate how local knowledge and community-based approaches can contribute to ecological restoration in practical and meaningful ways. It will also offer perspectives on how these experiences may inform restoration pathways across the wider Southeast Asian region.

This invitation marks an important opportunity to showcase Thailand’s local restoration experiences on an international academic platform, while strengthening regional dialogue on sustainable landscape management, ecological resilience, and community-based restoration practices.
