Let's learn and conserve nature with Stem, Mr. Peeraphol Chucherd, a 4th-year Economics and Investment student, who was one of the 50 students nationwide selected to participate in the "TCP Spirit Year 3" - an exemplary student who truly utilizes free time meaningfully.

The Beginning of the Journey

With his interest in environment and nature, Stem seized the opportunity to join the TCP Spirit Year 3 project in Buriram Province, an activity focused on learning about cranes and ecosystems. It was not just an eco-tourism experience, but an opportunity for in-depth learning about circular economy and sustainability. "Personally, I already liked environmental topics. When I had free time, I searched for activities on the internet and found the TCP Spirit Faculty of Economics Creation Year 3 project, which was very interesting because it was about Thai Sarus Crane (Thai subspecies). They are rare birds that had been extinct from nature for over 50 years."

One Heart, Loving Nature

This project provided an opportunity for young people to meet people from various professions who share the same goal: love and concern for nature. "Most participants are people working in nature-related fields, both in government and private sectors, or even general individuals interested in nature can join. It's a great opportunity to learn new things and exchange ideas with diverse people”

3 Days, 2 Nights Activity

This activity was a full 3-day, 2-night experience covering diverse experiences. "We started by establishing the concept of Circular Economy, then hands-on planting chemical-free dry grass as crane food. On the morning of day 2, we visited Ban Swai So community to learn about the production process of Sarad rice, which is grown using organic farming methods following traditional local practices. In the afternoon, we visited Ban Hua Saphan community to learn about environmentally friendly silk production processes, from growing organic mulberry trees, silkworm breeding, silk reeling, silk dyeing, to silk weaving. The activities concluded on day 3 with bird watching to survey natural biodiversity at the Airport Reservoir Wildlife Non-Hunting Area."

Creating Passion, Opening Learning Worlds 

This activity helped discover new perspectives on sustainability and the importance of nature conservation, recognizing the power of participation and the significance of creating even small changes. "Participating in this event has helped me understand the overall concept of Circular Economy, which is an opportunity for change. It is not just about reducing waste, but about transforming economic activities, whether it's production, consumption, or how we live our lives, to make them more efficient and environmentally friendly. This is because the sustainability of nature is the stability of the economy and the better quality of life for everyone."

Small Power That Can Be Passed On

With a background in economics and investment, Stem aims to be a voice for sustainable investment, believing that investors can play a crucial role in supporting environmentally conscious companies. Participating in this project is not only a conservation activity but also the beginning of being part of creating sustainable change for this world. As a student of the Faculty of Economics and Investment, I want to be a voice for investors to raise awareness about the importance of investing in businesses that operate with sustainability in mind. This is because, in addition to helping create a better future for the environment and society, it also generates stable and sustainable returns in the long run."
