tài guó泰国huá xīn华欣lā nài cūn拉奈村:yòng用chuán tǒng传统zhì huì智慧yìng duì应对zāi hài灾害
There is a village called Hua Hin Lanai in Chiang Rai, Thailand, inhabited by the Karen people.
They care deeply for the forest and have even won awards for forest protection.
In 2024, there were major floods and landslides here, washing away many farmlands and animals.
Some said the villagers' farming methods damaged the forest, but experts found the real causes were climate change and problems left by previous logging.
The villagers use their traditional knowledge, such as observing animal behavior, to prevent disasters.
They also hope to use science and technology to help everyone better protect their homes.
Now, the villagers are working hard to restore their lives and hope to share their experiences with other villages.
Many believe that communities like Hua Hin Lanai should be involved in disaster prevention to better protect everyone's safety.
