Tree Relocation Project for Environmental and Biodiversity Conservation

The company’s tree relocation project is designed to conserve ecologically and biologically significant plant species while minimizing environmental impact. By relocating valuable trees from construction areas to more suitable and sustainable locations, the project helps preserve biodiversity and maintain ecosystem balance. Before relocation, each tree undergoes a thorough assessment to ensure a smooth transition without harm to its growth. The process is carried out under expert supervision, ensuring the trees can successfully adapt and thrive in their new environment. This initiative not only supports plant conservation but also promotes long-term ecological sustainability within the construction area.
In the MRT Purple Line Project (Tao Poon – Rat Burana Section, Kanchanaphisek Ring Road), currently under development, the company has prioritized environmental conservation. A total of 127 trees have been carefully transplanted from the construction site to a suitable location for nurturing. Some trees have been prepared for replanting in a new area, while others will be restored to their original positions once construction is completed. The project is committed to minimizing adverse environmental impacts by preserving native plant species and maintaining biodiversity in the area. Every step of the tree relocation process has been conducted with meticulous care to ensure the trees can thrive in a healthy and sustainable manner. Examples of transplanted trees include Pterocarpus indicus (Pradu), Albizia saman (Rain Tree), Intsia bijuga (Merbau), Mangifera indica (Mango), Aegle marmelos (Bael), Millingtonia hortensis (Cork Tree), Terminalia catappa (Indian Almond), Plumeria (Frangipani), Shorea roxburghii (White Meranti), and Saraca indica (Ashoka Tree).
