EDUCATION
The youth of today and tomorrow will carry the torch to a sustainable future – and bear the costs if we do not act. We run daily educational programs and organise field trips for local schoolchildren to help them understand the importance of sustainability and our connection to nature in appropriate terms. We also directly support several local schools by donating supplies, food, and teaching English.
COMMUNITY-BASED FIRE MANAGEMENT
An average of 178 km2 (~8% of the total district land area) in Pai is burned annually. The early onset of prescribed fire-setting combined with the hot, dry transition monsoons have contributed to extremely hazardous air quality conditions for several months of the year. An air quality sensor installed at Pai Hospital in 2013 shows that each year since, the Air Quality Index (AQI) – an index that normalizes measures of particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10, ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions – has exceeded the maximum score of 500. Depending on the local climate patterns, especially wind speed, the Pai and Muang Paeng Valleys may be inundated with smog between February and June..




The myriad sources of widespread fires in Pai District locally and Southeast Asia broadly remain poorly understood. Due to the considerable complexity, uncertainty, and sensitivity of this topic, CNF is developing an engagement strategy to reveal the values (and costs) of fire practices in Pai District. Consisting of both a qualitative survey and a non-market valuation discrete choice experiment, we hope to capitalize on the trust we’ve been built with local communities to understand, in essence, who is burning and why.
