Thailand is blessed with a fertile land, and its forests have long been considered one of its greatest natural assets. But recent incidents — from illegal logging to suspected arson — remind us that the country’s greenery is in constant peril.

This week on #TheSignal, we take a closer look at deforestation in Thailand and the real factors behind it:

🌳 The economic pressures against Thai forests
🌳 What happens when Thai forests disappear, hectare by hectare
🌳 How Thailand is moving to protect what’s left
