Lions Club supports tree plantation

This follows the Lions International programme to grow 1 million trees worldwide, as the club is expanding its scope of interest from society to environment.
Under the “Planting a Million Trees” campaign, Lions in Thailand will grow trees in Chachoengsao (85 rai) and Chon Buri (105 rai). 
A research shows that Thailand lost 70 million rai of forest area in 2011, or 20 per cent of total forest area. From 1961-2009, the east of Thailand suffered the most from deforestation, which accounted for 37 per cent of total.
