LEPL Agency of Protected Areas

A working meeting was held in Oni Municipality between the leadership of the Agency of Protected Areas and representatives of the local government regarding the development of Racha National Park.

During the meeting, special attention was given to the importance of developing protected areas, improving tourist infrastructure, and ensuring the active participation of the local population in ongoing processes. It was noted that informational meetings are planned for the near future to keep the community informed.

The working meeting addressed infrastructural projects planned by the Agency of Protected Areas, including the establishment and development of a trail network. This initiative will significantly contribute to the economic empowerment of the local population and create new opportunities for small business development. Specifically, locals will be able to offer visitors various tourist services, such as horseback riding tours, guiding services, transportation, and local products.

It was emphasized at the meeting that the development of protected areas will play a key role in boosting ecotourism in the region and expanding recreational spaces. At the same time, these processes will support biodiversity conservation, ecosystem restoration, and the preservation of local traditional farming.
