Mangroves are a natural resource that is very important to the marine ecosystem. The benefits of mangroves are that they are a food source for animals that live there, such as shrimp, shellfish, crabs, and fish. They are a nursery for marine animals, help prevent and slow down the speed of water currents that hit the shore, make the soil stronger, prevent natural disasters that affect the livelihoods of those living nearby, are a source that can greatly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide, and are also a place to study nature. Burapha University Library is aware of the environmental and natural resource problems, which are important problems that all sectors should participate in taking responsibility for. Therefore, the mangrove planting project, which is an activity in the Green Library project, is organized to restore and conserve the mangrove forests in the area to return them to their original state, as well as instill a sense of awareness in the library staff to realize the value of the environment and to jointly preserve natural resources.
Objectives:
1. To create awareness for library personnel to realize the value of natural resource and environmental conservation. 2. To restore and conserve mangrove forest areas and sustainably maintain natural resources.
Project Activities:
1. Contact and coordinate with Nong Sim Subdistrict Administrative Organization to organize activities
2. Set the date and time for the activities
3. Prepare materials and equipment for the activities
4. Conduct mangrove planting activities at Ban Khao Chong Kron, Nong Chim Subdistrict, Laem Sing District, Chanthaburi Province. Burapha University Library received support from Nong Sim Subdistrict Administrative Organization, Chanthaburi Province, to procure 100 mangrove saplings to be planted in the mangrove forest area at the Mangrove Forest Nature Study and Ecotourism Center, Ban Khao Chong Kron, Nong Sim Subdistrict, Laem Sing District, Chanthaburi Province.
Impacts:
1. Personnel are conscious and aware of the value of conserving natural resources and the environment together.
2. Personnel participate in activities to promote learning and preserve the environment.
3. Mangrove forest areas have been restored and conserved to return to their original abundance.
4. Erosion control: Mangrove roots help retain coastal sediment, prevent erosion, and stabilise shorelines, reducing damage from waves and storms.
5. Mangrove forests are home to a variety of aquatic animals and birds, such as fish, shrimp, crabs, and shorebirds, supporting the health of the ecosystem and benefiting local fishing communities
