The Community Forest Support Group (CFSG) was established in 1993 to help villagers living in hill tribes of
Northern Thailand implement village-level conservation projects and take part in the decision-making processes that affect their communities.
Fifty percent of Community Forest Support Group's profits are dedicated to raising awareness about resource management in Northern Thailand.

Elephants
There's a strong bond between the Thai people and their elephants, traditional symbols of royal power
often seen in Buddhist art and architecture.
Alas, deforestation has caused their once-plentiful numbers to fall to just over 2500.
Help raise awareness to their plight by sharing these hand-made elephant ornaments.
A great gift for nature and animal living friends.
