Description
Please join the Food & Agri-Business Committee for a talk by Anunta Intra-aksorn, co-founder of BIG Trees Project. BIG Trees Project is currently working towards developing 60 public parks in Thailand; developing urban arboriculture; organic farming; and numerous educational programs for school children, such as tree climbing and green school outings.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU BREATHE: The Big Trees Project is an environmental volunteer and advocacy group that works with communities, government agencies as well the private sector and other civic groups to promote awareness and activities that help preserve public green spaces in Bangkok and beyond. They communicate with the public through social media. Their main focus and symbol is large trees whose survival depend on the quality of the green spaces where they are found and how active the surrounding communities are. They also work closely with government agencies and local municipalities to ensure that they engage the public in their conservation efforts.
