The World Health Organization (WHO) states that a person should have 9 square meters of green space to qualify as a city with a healthy environment.

Especially in big cities, if there is more green space, it will help the city people to be happier. Increasing green space to make Bangkok more livable is an easy way, which is planting trees.

And planting just one tree can provide more benefits than you think. And if you plant a million trees, how much benefit will it provide to Bangkok?

Bangkok has good intentions, so it has organized the project “Plant a million trees, create a dust-filtering wall” to capture pollution and filter dust before it reaches the public. Currently, Bangkok has planted more than 900,000 trees to take care of the city throughout Bangkok and there are still 1,641,310 trees reserved for planting. You can follow more of Bangkok’s operations at the website. www.tree.bangkok.go.th Develop and restore vacant areas into small parks, providing good health for the heart and lungs for the people in the “15-minute parks throughout Bangkok” project.

There are currently 266 target areas, 100 of which are open for service.

In addition, the BMA has created a million-tree planting manual for the public, with details on planting methods, care, maintenance, and selection of tree species suitable for each area so that the planted trees can grow properly. Let's join together to add greenery and freshness for a good environment for Bangkok.
