Dead Mangrove Tree in southern Thailand
A dead mangrove leaf drifts past an area where mangroves once thrived in Khlong Tu Yong in Thepa district, Songkhla province, Thailand. It was reported by the local fisher folk that trees were cut down to expand the waterway to accommodate boats in the area. A decision that was unnecessary - according to locals.

Biodiversity in Southern Thailand
The rich biodiversity in Thepha district, Songkhla province, in southern Thailand, might be threatened by a plan to build a 2,200-megawatt coal power plant in the area. The project, led by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), is being opposed by local communities as they believe it would affect their health and the environment of the region.
Apart from its natural beauty, the mangrove forest of Thepha also contributes to the biological richness of this area, as well as the livelihood of local fishing communities.
