Department of Water Resources Launches 'Wetland School' Initiative in Kamphaeng Phet

The Department of Water Resources, specifically through the Office of Water Resources Region 1 and the Water Resource Conservation Section 3 in Kamphaeng Phet, has officially launched a new initiative to establish a network of 'Wetland Schools' in Thailand. According to an announcement from the department on September 1, 2026, this program is designed to foster environmental awareness and encourage the active protection of local water ecosystems.

For residents and visitors, this initiative highlights a growing emphasis on the preservation of Thailand’s natural landscapes. While the program focuses on educational outreach, it underscores the government's commitment to maintaining the health of wetland areas, which are vital for biodiversity and local water management.

At this stage, the specific curriculum and the list of participating schools remain to be confirmed. Furthermore, it is not yet clear how this network will interact with local tourism or if there will be opportunities for public engagement or educational visits to these designated sites. Those interested in environmental conservation or local community development may wish to monitor future updates from the Department of Water Resources regarding the expansion and impact of the Wetland School network.
