TREE PLANTING CEREMONY, NAKHON PHANOM UNIVERSITY, THAILAND

摘要

In Thailand, imbued with a rich Buddhist culture, ceremonies are common scenes. FAO continued the tradition with its tree planting ceremony in a small corner of the world that is lapped by the mighty Mekong River. In conjunction with the World Food Day event, a Tree Planting Ceremony was organized on 22 October in the grounds of Nakhon Phanom University. It was organized jointly by FAO/RAP, the Royal Forest Department (RFD) and Nakhon Phanom University. The main objective was to promote the planting of indigenous long-rotation tree species in Thailand.
