Legal background to the project and Forest of Peace

Report: Legal back­ground to the project and set up of For­est of Peace by Rödl & Partner

The For­est of Peace team com­mis­sioned the bureau Rödl & Part­ner to ana­lyze their project “For­est of Peace” in respect to forestry, child edu­ca­tion and envi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion and restora­tion. After sev­eral months of research by Rödl & Part­ner Ger­many and Rödl & Part­ner Thai­land and with the coop­er­a­tion of the For­est of Peace team the result in form of a report is now avail­able to investors and other inter­ested parties.

The 92-page report is avail­able as a read only doc­u­ment after accept­ing the con­fi­den­tial dis­clo­sure agree­ment and the pay­ment of a small pro­tec­tion fee. Click here to request viewing.

Pro­cess­ing sec­tion
The Main activities

  • “For­est of Peace Project” is con­ducted by “For­est of Peace Foundation”.
  • “For­est of Peace” Foun­da­tion sup­ports actively Bud­dhist projects.
  • First “For­est of Peace” Project called “Chok Chai 2010″ started in May 2009.
  • 1,600 baby teak trees were planted on 4 Rai land (1.6 acres, 2,400 square meters) in Chok Chai, Nakhon Ratchasima (located 2 hours drive from Bangkok).

The pro­cess­ing method.
A stan­dard process of teak plan­ta­tion as described in the fol­low­ing chart:

Site Prepa­ra­tion

  • Seedlings
  • Plant­ing
  • Main­te­nance (Year 1 to Year 5)
  • Pre-Commercial Thin­ning in Year 6
  • Reg­u­lar Main­te­nance only (Year 7 to Year 10)
  • First Com­mer­cial Thin­ning in Year 11
  • Reg­u­lar Main­te­nance only (Year 12 to Year 15)
  • Sec­ond Com­mer­cial Thin­ning in Year 16
  • Reg­u­lar Main­te­nance only (Year 17 to Year 19)
  • Final Har­vest in Year 20

4. Thai teak against global warming

  • Grow­ing con­cerns over cli­mate change effects have pressed the global com­mu­nity to address the neg­a­tive impact of anthro­pogenic green­house gas (GHG) emission.
  • Apart from the aware­ness of global com­mu­nity together to reduce global warm­ing, there are mechanism-based busi­nesses moti­vat­ing the return of human and busi­ness units to help reduce global warm­ing as well.
  • The mech­a­nism should be a part of global warm­ing because it enables to bal­ance the pos­i­tive and neg­a­tive effect of indus­trial pro­duc­tion activ­ity — it is called “car­bon credit -”.
  • In the global car­bon cycle, the for­est likely plays the vital role and the fact that defor­esta­tion may cause about 20 per­cent of global Green House Gas (GHG) emission.
  • Besides, parts of the global car­bon trade include a wide-range of forestry activ­i­ties includ­ing afforesta­tion, refor­esta­tion, for­est con­ser­va­tion, for­est man­age­ment and rehabilitation.
  • The role of Thai­land forests relat­ing to green­house gas emis­sion; they are able to absorb Car­bon Diox­ide (CO2) from the atmos­phere approx­i­mately 2.5 tons/hectare/year or approx­i­mately 0.4 trees/rai/year.
  • Due to increas­ing use of fuel and energy for more devel­op­ment of the coun­try, CO2 emis­sion may rise from time to time to the high level of 102 trees/year within 2011.
  • Fol­low­ing fig­ure presents the adsorp­tion rate of CO2 clas­si­fied in species of wood:

Tec­tona gran­dis (Teak tree) 21.5
Euca­lyp­tus camaldurensis 19.5
Hopea fer­rea 12.5
Shorea sia­men­sis 11.0
Shorea obtusa 10.5
Dal­ber­gia 10.0
