Reforestation Projects

PTTEP has continued to implement its Nature-based Solutions (NbS) initiatives targeting the restoration and conservation of 200,000 rai of land by 2030. The project aims to increase CO2 absorption areas, enhance biodiversity, and enrich Thailand’s natural resources while promoting local community participation in forest resource conservation. The project is being carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, the Royal Forest Department, the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, and the Mae Fah Luang Foundation under Royal Patronage.

In 2025, PTTEP secured government approvals to conserve and restore a total accumulated 156,130 rai of mangrove and terrestrial forests across 25 provinces - 5,007 rai of mangrove forests and 151,123 rai of terrestrial forests. These activities have generated cumulative local employment and income of over USD 7.49 million.

Additionally, PTTEP collaborated with Kasetsart University to conduct biodiversity research and continuous performance assessment of the reforestation areas, in collaboration with relevant government agencies. The studies indicated a tree survival rate exceeding 85%, surpassing the government benchmark of 80%. These efforts have fostered a growing network of over 4,400 community members actively engaged in forest protection and conservation. The reforestation project achieved a Social Return on Investment (SROI) of 5.46:1
