Improving the lives of Thai fishing communities
On moving to the Andaman Sea coast in 1985, Thai environmentalist Pisit Charnsnoh founded the Yadfon Association to assist impoverished local fishing communities through environmental programmes.
"We help people to understand and love the dugong.”
Through one of Yadfon’s first projects, the restoration of a mangrove forest, he noticed the decline of a marine mammal, the dugong. He decided to use the dugong as the flagship for a programme to improve the lives of fishing communities.
