Thailand’s landscape is a complex mosaic of agriculture and forests. Since the 1960s, the country has seen an overall decrease in forest cover from 53% to 31%. Population growth has increased demand for forest and agricultural products which has contributed to the country’s rising levels of deforestation and forest degradation. Continued deforestation is expected to adversely affect the livelihoods of a large number of forest-dependent people as well as Thailand’s environmental sustainability.
