Budo-Su-ngai Padi Mountain Range National Park

Tree Generation

In 1965, the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation declared the Forest Reserve followed by the Budo Sungai Padi National Park in 1999, covering the southern Thai provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat.

The declaration of National Park range in Budo mountain overlaps with the land which has traditionally been used as a farming and residential area. Local villagers, who had been living here more than three generations, were treated as squatters.

Duson, a forest-like orchard, is a significant evidence for villagers to prove their right to land.
