The Forest Restoration Research Unit (FORRU-CMU) is a small team of ecologists and research students in the Biology Department of Chiang Mai University's Science Faculty, located in northern Thailand. Our mission is to carry out research to develop efficient methods to restore tropical forest ecosystems for biodiversity conservation, environmental protection and carbon storage.
We define forest ecosystem restoration as:
Directing and accelerating ecological succession towards an indigenous target forest ecosystem of the maximum biomass, structural complexity, biodiversity and ecological functioning that can be self-sustained within prevailing climatic and soil limitations.
Our unit also has an education/outreach team, which provides environmental education and technical training, based on our research outputs, to a wide range of stakeholders and organizations involved in forest restoration.
