This study has objectives to aggregate localities of threatened species in Thailand, create species distribution maps, and identify hotspot areas. Localities of 359 globally near-threatened or threatened species from four taxa (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) were aggregated via literature reviews and expert interviews. In total, more than 12,000 records were obtained for 321 species. Half of the records are recent (after 2010). Only 10% of the records are highly reliable, while most (80%) are moderately reliable. Hotspot areas of each taxa are different, however, there are some areas that have been the hotspot of all taxa e.g. Khlong Saeng WS. When combine all species, all sites with species number more than 50 have already been protected. Bala WS is the site with highest species number (118 species), followed by Kaeng Krachan NP (more than 90 species).Conflicts among stakeholders in energy projects have been more and more increasing in Thailand. Conflicts arise in phases of project from location selection to project utilization. Local communities have been claiming that energy projects put their environmental and social conditions at risk, while country’s economic development needs more investment of energy infrastructure. As a result, development of a new energy project in Thailand is very difficult to be implemented. This situation imposes risks to both local communities and country’s economic development. The objective of this research is to identify perception of social and environmental impacts and level of public participation in energy infrastructure projects. Interviews are undertaken with targeted management persons of energy projects, relating companies, local communities, and relating government officers in the eastern region of Thailand. The outputs of this research are perceptions of social and environmental impacts and discussion on level of public participation for better implementation of new energy projects in Thailand.Effective mapping and monitoring is necessary to conserve the mangrove forest from further loss in Trat due to anthropogenic as well climate drivers. Integration of remote sensing and field server has capability of providing information on mangrove status and changes over a large spatial extent. This research aim to 1) utilized Landsat satellite images to analyze the changes over a period of 1987 - 2014 years of mangrove 2) map mangrove at species level 3) Configure field server which provide weather information and camera images to estimate mangrove biomass and its changes 3) discover vulnerability of mangrove related to climate change. We implemented efficient classification technique to categorize mangrove extent species. Random Forest (RF) technique provided significant overall accuracy with 76.47%. The results suggest that the field sensor camera has high potential to estimate biomass and health. Mangrove forests are important in this region for shoreline
