| Abstract | Developing the highlands of Northern Thailand must address the issues
of promoting conservation as less and less forest cover and biodiversity
remains. This report presents a twenty year strategy for the Doi Inthanon
National Park administration to promote conservation in a Sgaw Karen hill
tribe community of Pa Mon. A strategic analysis, commonly used in
corporate planning , was used to r:ef.i.ne and develop a series of hypotheses
regarding the future of conservation in the community and the most
effective role that the Park administration could play in it.
The analysis provides a strategy that calls on a multi- faceted
approach to reducing natural resource degradation through promoting
conservation education; formal education, l owl and jobs, and emigration; and
non- natural resource intensive economic opportunities. The Park
administration is to rally and entice the many relevant stake holders for
assistance in these programs. The research pointed to issues regarding the
suitability of of an informal analysis methods in field applications, but
also realizes its shortcomings. Further, in order to deal with increasing
populations and limited resources, the forces of socio-economic change in
the community provider more long term potentials to reduce natural resource
degradation than solely maintaining traditional practices. |
