Asian Trails safeguards coastal ecosystems
A dedicated group of 39 staff volunteers from Asian Trails Thailand recently gathered at a coastal conservation area near Bangkok to plant mangrove trees – an impactful effort aimed at restoring vital natural ecosystems that support a diverse range of species.
A contribution of 10,000 Thai baht to the Bangpu Nature Education Centre funded the planting of 500 mangrove trees. Proceeds from this initiative also supported a shelter for underprivileged children, combining environmental stewardship with meaningful community impact.
Mangrove trees are especially valued for their ability to store carbon, thanks to their complex root systems and carbon-rich soil. On average, a single mangrove tree can absorb approximately 12 to 15 kg of CO₂ per year. With 500 trees planted, this initiative is expected to offset an estimated 6 to 7.5 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.
As part of its ongoing ‘ATT Go Green’ initiative, Asian Trails remains committed to environmental sustainability and community development across the region. The company will continue its annual mangrove planting efforts as an integral part of this long-term vision. Learn more about our responsible travel practices at Responsible Travel
