With a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degrees in Biology and Ecology from the Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University, I have extensive experience in forest restoration and research in biodiversity. While undertaking my Master’s degree, I received research funding from the Biodiversity Research and Training Programme and presented my research paper in Perth, Australia.

I am now a member of the environmental project of Chiang Mai City called Keaw Suay Homm, which aims to promote the conservation of nature through a series of workshops, training and city tours. Another area of my work is to create a social enterprise, “Keaw Suay Homm Organic Fertilizer”, which utilizes organic waste, with the support of E-idea and other local associate partners.

The Chiang Mai Green City Project or Chiang Mai Keaw Suay Homm Project aims to promote the city as a “green cultural city” and a comfortable place to live. A variety of government and non- government organizations are cooperating as partners for the project. Critical environmental problems, such as waste overload, inappropriate management and smog are not caused by one factor, and, thus, collaboration and social responsibility are the keys to the success of our project. The social enterprise “Keaw Suay Homm Organic Fertilizer” is looking to develop fertilizer from organic waste, using a technique from a famous local researcher, to generate income for supporting social activities. The enterprise provides an opportunity for people from Chiang Mai to become involved in tackling critical environment issues by participating in the Keaw Suay Homm Organic Fertilizer project.
