15 Life on Land

The campuses of Thammasat University, especially Rangsit Campus, are full of large trees. Thammasat University has issued rules on large tree care which requires preservation all large trees by moving them to suitable places during campus development and giving them proper after-care. Efforts are also made in preserving other perennial trees on campus by training arborists and tree-plotters who can jointly care for the trees. Properly managed trees and wetlands can serve as habitats and food sources for local species and attract more animals and plants to increase the biological diversity on campuses.
