Protecting what matters.

Our Approach

Three pillars.One shared purpose.

Protecting the wild

Conservation

OurLand is located at the southern tip of the Western Forest Complex, one of the largest contiguous forests in Southeast Asia. We currently protect 26 Rai of a strategic wildlife corridor adjacent to Salakphra Wildlife Sanctuary, protecting the path to an access point on the River Kwae often frequented by wild elephants and other creatures.

Living with nature

Sustainability

Our conservation efforts are bolstered by our ecovillage, where we test drive sustainable techniques and technologies that encourage integration with and regeneration of our natural world. We seek replicability in our designs and use locally available materials whenever possible.

01 / The Bigger Picture

02 / Why It Matters

Keeping the connection alive.

OurLand is situated in one of the last corridors before Lat Ya City. Development along the River Kwae has impeded animals from crossing the 3199 highway to access the river.

Our goal is to preserve and expand this wildlife corridor, regenerate forest space, and develop additional research stations to monitor biodiversity.
