We discuss the possibility of afforestation schemes by the private sector in Thailand. Data extrapolated from India suggest that these should be financially extremely lucrative. They would also go a long way toward revegetating land that is lying unproductive. Implemented around protected areas, they would alleviate rural poverty to a very large extent, reducing pressure on these areas. The major problems in implementation in Thailand are the lack of experience in intensive forestry in the country, and financing for demonstration projects.
