This research has the goal of raising awareness of wildfires in Mae Ping National Park and providing education on the impacts of common unsafe agricultural practices to the community of Ban Kor. This project involved creating educational animations for children of the Ban Kor Judsan school, developing easy access to near-real-time fire tracking software, and rebuilding the defunct weaving business of Kor Thung Home as a supplemental form of income in Ban Kor. The team recommended action items to the school to continue student involvement in wildfire-prevention and marketing strategies to the local weaving center of Ban Kor.
