They are as follows; 1.1 Maesa-Kogma Biosphere Reserve is located in Chaingmai province northern part of Thailand. It has the total area of square kilometers which represents watershed areas and evergreen forest. The Reserve consists of two main watershed areas which are Maesa and Huay Kogma watershed areas. The Reserve was declared in Currently, the Reserve is managed by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. 1.2 Huay Tak Teak Biosphere Reserve is located in Lampang province, northern part of the country. It has the total area of 290 square kilometers which represents deciduous forest, dominant natural teak forest and teak plantation. The Reserve was declared in Currently, the Reserve is managed by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. 1.3 Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve is located in Nakhon Ratchasima province, north eastern part of the country. It has the total area of 80 square kilometers which represents deciduous and dry dipterocarp forests. The Reserve was declared as a biosphere reserve in Currently, the reserve is managed by Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research, Ministry of Science and Technology. 1.4 Ranong Biosphere Reserve is located in Ranong province, southern part of the country. It has the total area of 303 square kilometers which 1
2 represents mangrove forest. The reserve was declared as a biosphere reserve in Currently, the Reserve is managed by the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. 2. The current activities and implementation complied with Target of Madrid Action Plan (MAP); MAP 3 : Integrated information & communication strategy Some Biosphere Reserves (Ranong Biosphere Reserve and Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve) produced the publications and media printing such as books, brochures and leaflets in order to contribute the knowledge on biosphere concept and other related issues, e.g. ecosystem management, diversity of mangroves in Ranong Biosphere Reserve. MAP 7 : Functional MAB National Committee in each country Thailand established MAB National Committee under the National UNESCO Committee of Thailand. The MAB National Committee is chaired by the Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation acts as secretary of the Committee. All four Biosphere Reserve also take part as the members of this Committee. This Committee has main functions in providing guidelines for implementation of the activities. The Committee also promotes creation of networks and coordination among different stakeholders from private and government sectors. The emphasis is also placed on assessment and monitoring of activities in the Biosphere Reserve. MAP 11 : Enhanced legal recognition of biosphere reserve where appropriated. Four sites of Biosphere Reserve have been protected by state laws and regulations such as National Park Act, National Forest Reserve Acts and Forest Act. Moreover, the government also established the regional units to protect and conserve the areas and to promote the implementation of activities in the Biosphere Reserve such as National Parks, Forest Fire Control Stations, Arboretum, Watershed Conservation and Development Units, Plantation Units, Restoration and Silvicultural Units, Forest Protection Units and Forest Research Stations. MAP 13 : Functional Zonation in all biosphere reserves established, particularly with regard to the transition area and the development function. Huay Tak Teak Biosphere Reserve set up the local Committee to do demarcation and extended the area from 47 to 290 square kilometers, comprising of three zones; core, buffer and transition zones. 2
3 MAP 19 : Biosphere Reserves to have research programmes on analyses of ecosystem services and their management through stakeholder participation. All four Biosphere Reserves have supported a number of research projects in many aspects related to issues on survey and conservation of biodiversity and natural resources, watershed management, conservation and climate change. MAP 21 : Decade of Education for Sustainable Development program with educational and research institutions. All four Biosphere Reserves support and promote the activities which related to conservation of nature including the learning sites for conservation and ecotourism, for examples; Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve received The Ecotourism Award in 2006 and Ranong Biosphere Reserve received The Ecotourism Award in Moreover, these Biosphere Reserves also serve for activities of schools and educational institutions such as camping sites, outdoor activities and learning visits. MAP 25 : Improved financial mechanisms for biosphere reserves and regional networks All four Biosphere Reserves have been supported by the international project, the Project on Lowering Emission from Asia s Forest (LEAF project) which is supported by USAID. This project aims to support the implementation and creates guideline on Payment Ecosystem Services (PES) and climate change which emphasize on reducing emission from deforestation and degradation: REDD +, carbon credit and an increase in efficiency on forest management. MAP 28 : Exchanges between biosphere reserves There are study visits among the four sites of biosphere reserves to strengthen coordination and networking, including knowledge sharing and experience exchange among the biosphere reserves. 3. Proposed Management Plan (year ) The activities of all four Biosphere Reserves have been prioritized for implementation of the activities during The activities of each biosphere are as follows; Maesa Kogma Biosphere Reserve: 1. Build awareness and understanding about models for resources and forest management for relevant sectors through consultation meetings, trainings, study tours, and stakeholder analysis. 2.
