Rain Forest VS Growing Population
Forests can live without human but people cannot survive without it. However, growing population around the world effects deforestation including Thailand. More than 20% of forest area in Thailand has been destroyed during 1960s - 1980s. After that period, the situation has never been better.
Tak, the 4th largest province of Thailand, with 75% of its area covered by rain forests, is one of the provinces that suffers most by a deforestation and human activities. However, Tak and its neighboring provinces are also home to diverse indigenous people such as Muser, Karen, etc. that have lived for more than a thousand years. Any laws that enforce to protect rain forests will inevitably affect inhabitants' livelihood and ways of life.

Not only to protect but to re-grow a rain forest.
Shade-grown farming practices are used to grow coffee plants under a shade of a canopy. This technique not only helps preserve rain forests but also creates a unique taste of high-quality organic coffee.
This becomes an incentive for Muser hill tribe people to protect the reserved rain forests. Hence, in order to expand their coffee produce, they also have to expand the rain forest at the same time.

"Our coffee trees are grown along with flora and fauna of the forest."

1 coffee = 5 sq m (54 sq ft) of rain forest = 1 big tree
