Biodiversity Action in the Project Areas

The Company places strong importance on biodiversity conservation and has incorporated this commitment into its sustainability policy. The Zaan The Riverside Borommaratchachonnani and ESTA Serenity Borommaratchachonnani projects are located along the Tha Chin River, where local communities have traditionally lived by the riverside and cultivated morning glory (water spinach) as their primary livelihood. The Company continues to allow the community to maintain its traditional way of life. Allowing residents to cultivate morning glory along the existing riverside areas supports sustainable land use while preserving the local agricultural ecosystem. This approach forms part of the Company’s efforts to protect biodiversity at the local level. In addition, the riverside environment helps conserve aquatic life by providing a safe habitat for fish and other aquatic species to spawn and reproduce, thereby supporting the continuity of the natural ecosystem.
