The People’s Movement for a Just Society (P-Move ) has urged the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry to refrain from naming new national parks while arguing that Thap Lan National Park’s issues should be resolved by placing a premium on peaceful coexistence between people and nature.
As a past agriculture minister, Natural Resources and Environment Minister Chalermchai Sri-on stated on Monday, his first day in office, that he would use his knowledge in agricultural land transformation to resolve forest land problems, and that the outcomes would shortly be seen.
Responding to his speech, P-Move secretary-general, Theeranet Chaisuwan, told a reporter yesterday the party appreciated Mr Chalermchai’s pay to fix the continuous conflicts involving territory in Thap Lan.
According to Mr. Theeranet, overlapping states between various government agencies have contributed to the development of these issues.
This is as the government becomes more concerned about the effects of climate shift. ” Unlawful” activities in forest land appear, and persons living in the woodland are seen as criminals and a cause of forest, he added.
He claimed that P-Move has a clear policy that local people should n’t be secluded from the forest land they have been residing on. But, clear limitations may be set under the rule of forest protection and protection, he noted.
According to Mr. Theeranet, it is clear that the tones of strangers were louder than those of the locals in the area.
The Cabinet approved the redesign of 265 000 ray of area at Thap Lan National Park over a year ago on March 14, 2023, with the results of an online people surveys conducted in July by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation.
Following updates to the boundary lines on state land plots as part of the government’s effort to combine various land mapping systems into a One Map system, which was approved in 2000, the Office of the National Land Policy Board ( ONLPB) made the proposal to redesignate the land.
Due to concerns that the forest land may later be sold to buyers if it were transferred to the Agricultural Land Reform Office, 879, 595 of 922, 898 voters in that July poll disagreed with the ONLPB’s proposed modification.
Mr Theeranet said the laws may become changed to simply allow partners, particularly people, to vote on the issue.
