Project
Research and Forest Restoration
Forests are the foundation of our ecosystem. They are the source of fresh air, food, water and the home of wild animals. But in the past 50 years, large swathes of Thailand’s forests have been destroyed, resulting in increasingly severe and frequent natural disasters and climate change. Therefore, forest restoration is an urgent issue that requires immediate mobilization and collaboration among all sectors so that our children and grandchildren may have food to eat, resources to use, clean air to breathe, and a safe home to live.
Community Development
The most important factor to success in forest and environmental restoration is community participation, whether local villages, temples, or schools, because communities are the pillars of a society, which, like the trunks of trees, nourish their branches, flowers, and leaves and stand firm amid rainstorms and gales. The Rajapruek Foundation’s Community Development projects are activities that communities initiate and implement on their own with the foundation’s continued support.
Eco-Tourism
Ecotourism offers an accessible and fun way to connect with nature and an opportunity for families and friends to engage in social activities together, resulting in a positive impression of environmental conservation. Ecotourism is, therefore, another channel through which the Foundation can branch out and expand environmental awareness in Thai society.
Youth and the Environment
Youth are the seeds by which we can cultivate an environmentally sustainable future. The Rajapruek Institute Foundation has always adhered to the principle of “building forests by building people,” organizing youth leadership development projects alongside fun, challenging, and hands-on forest restoration activities in the hopes that the younger generation will discover the value of nature firsthand and continue to love and cherish it in the future.

Our History
The Rajapruek Institute Foundation was founded in 1986 by a group of individuals who shared the goal of conserving forestlands, restoring nature and verdancy to Thailand, and fostering love for nature in every Thai person. This project was named Rajapruek, or “the King’s Flora,” in honor of its objective to plant trees as tribute to His Majesty the King Bhumipol Adulyadej in the auspicious occasion of His Majesty’s 60th birthday and follow in the footsteps of his initiative to conserve and restore verdancy to forestlands through collaboration with public and private sectors.
Throughout its period of operation, The Rajapruek Institute Foundation has carried out a large variety of projects and was selected by the National Identity Committee of the Office of the Prime Minister as the Outstanding National Organization in Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation in 1997, awarded by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. This has been highest honor and source of morale for The Foundation to continue the restoration of natural resources and promotion of green spaces in Thailand.
From the first day it was established, the Rajapruek Institute Foundation has not missed an opportunity to develop and restore forestlands in many areas. Its success is proof that “Everyone can lend a helping hand for a verdant Thailand,” and this will continue to be the guiding principle for The Foundation for as long as it operates.
