Ancient Forest Under Threat – Mae Taeng, Chiang Mai
These pictures are of the most beautiful stand of Lagerstroemia calyculata in Chiang Mai province. The locals , however view it as a place to throw trash, including beer bottles which they then burn. How do we change this? Location is one km south of the main road to Pai on a picturesque back road where the traveller can avoid much of the everyday ugliness of Thailand.
Yes, how DO we change this? Does anyone have an idea? Janet
Currently Chiang Mai city has German consultants GTZ working on clean air with a hotel meeting this Tuesday 15th June.
Perhaps people can take this problem there for discussion?
