SRT obtained long term logging concession for 30-year period 1974-2004. Logging began in 1974 to 1979 and then ceased during 1979-1981 due to low yield. The SRT resumed logging in 1982 and finally ceased in 1989 by the government logging ban. During the discontinued period about 3 years, there were no protection nor improvement activities. Also the SRT receded to continue logging in cutting sections 6-10 as planned because the areas had already been depleted. This indicate cleary the weakness in area control. The KK.9 covers 230.50 Square km, is the catchment area of several major streams (Huay) e.g. Seua Ten, Kum Moom, Tad Tone, Yang and Pha Pluay. The mountainous areas along the western slopes, also border of the Nam Pong reservior, covering 1/4 of the working plan area. The rest are undulating and flat lands suitable for paddy and field crops. Annual precipitation average about 1,200 mm. Land and water suitability attracted people to settle and move in the area and expanding cultivate lands extensively.
