dc.description.abstractThis report investigates whether farmers living in a village within the boundaries of one of Thailand's most important national parks should continue to live there or be resettled. It analyzes the costs and benefits of several scenarios for the future of the villagers. These include resettlement, "business-as-usual" and a compromise in which the villagers are involved in helping conserve the park. It finds that resettlement is not only unnecessary, but would actually cost more - environmentally and socially - than letting the farmers stay and help manage the park. In light of this, the report describes how the compromise scenario might be made to work and recommends that this approach be considered in other conflict resolution situations in Thailand.en
