| Abstract | People have relied on wetlands for a number of purposes including a source of livelihood, social, cultural and traditional functions, and means of transportation, recreation as well as a potential source ofincome among locals. However, recently wetland areas in Thailand have suffered from degradation due toseveral such factors as deforestation for land use, shallow water source, drainage of waste water into watersources and invasion of alien species of crops and animals, thus resulting in rapidly decreased capacity ofwater conservation. Effective preventions or relief of degraded wetlands so far have failed primarily becausethe boundary lines of most wetland areas are not precisely drawn; the governments have failed to enforceor implement the law relating to wetland reservation; and the magnitude of wetlands as well as under-standing of wetlands relating to its benefits of abundance, impacts of degradation on ecology, society andeconomy tend to be underestimated. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate legal measures asguideline or conceptual framework to restore or conserve Khun Ta Le lagoon in order to reduce degradationand enhance ecological restoration for sustainable use of the source. The author proposed a definition ofnatural resource and environment conservation areas. The proposed definition designates wetlands or otherareas with similar purposes as the conservation areas. In addition, by this extended definition, non-profitgroups of individuals or organizations whose activities are oriented to protection, promotion, and conservation of environment are permitted to apply for a license of environment private organization or environment community organizations. Furthermore, essential roles and responsibilities are developed so that these proposed organizations can participate in adopting policies, laws, regulations, plans and evaluate as well as monitor activities implemented by the government agencies. The ultimate objectives of this proposal is to promote and preserve natural resources and environment particularly in wetlands and other conserved areas under the environment laws. |
