Post by buksida »

Bangkok - Six major activities would commemorate the first anniversary of the Dec 26 tsunami disaster under a project planned by the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry. Project ''Clear-sky Andaman - Care for the Environment''

The six major activities would promote cooperation between the state, the mass media, the private sector and the public to rehabilitate coastal resources such as mangrove and beach forests, coral reefs, and marine flora and fauna.
