A group of Swiss university students have joined hands with Thai environmental volunteers in Kanchanaburi province to carry out a nature conservation project aimed at protecting the local ecosystem and promoting sustainable forest management.

 

Mr Wasan Sunjirat, Chair of the Subdistrict Environmental Volunteer Network in Chong Sadao, Mueang District, Kanchanaburi, led the initiative in collaboration with “Our Land – A Nature Conservation Effort”, an environmental organisation working in Thailand. The event took place in Moo 5, Kaeng Pla Kot village, Chong Sadao subdistrict.

 

The conservation activities included the construction of small check dams designed to slow water flow, increase groundwater absorption, improve moisture retention in the upper watershed, and mitigate soil erosion and riverbank collapse. These dams also help to trap sediments, thereby improving both the quantity and quality of water sources for human use and wildlife habitats.

 

In addition to the dam building, volunteers engaged in forest restoration work by planting native tree seeds and transferring saplings into seedling bags. The aim is to strengthen the young plants in preparation for reforestation efforts, supporting biodiversity and long-term ecological balance.

 

This initiative served not only to promote active participation in environmental protection but also to foster cultural exchange between Thai youth and the Swiss students. The project reflects the strength of international cooperation in preserving Thailand’s natural resources and highlights the role of community involvement in sustainable environmental stewardship.

 

Organisers hailed the event as a meaningful step towards building environmental awareness and cross-cultural understanding, proving that collaborative action, local and global, can make a lasting impact.
