On November 23, 2024, International Laboratories Co., Ltd. conducted the “Beauty Sea By Our Hand, Give new life to sea turtle, and Create a Colorful Sea” project at Koh Man Nai, Kram Subdistrict, Klaeng District, Rayong Province.

Sea turtles are ancient creatures that have existed for millions of years and inhabit oceans worldwide. In Thailand, there are five species of sea turtles: the hawksbill turtle, the green turtle, the loggerhead turtle, the leatherback turtle, and the olive ridley turtle. Sea turtles play a crucial role in marine ecosystems by promoting biodiversity as their backs host various fungi and algae. Additionally, their long-distance migrations help transport these organisms to new ecosystems, enhancing marine diversity.

Sea turtle’s feeding behaviors also help maintain ecological balance. For instance, leatherback turtles primarily consume jellyfish, which helps fish populations recover, as jellyfish prey on fish eggs. Without predators like leatherback turtles, jellyfish populations could grow unchecked, impacting fish populations. Similarly, hawksbill turtles feed on sea sponges, preventing them from overgrowing and displacing coral reefs, thus preserving marine habitats.

Despite their ecological importance, sea turtles are threatened by human activities. Their populations have drastically declined due to coastal development, poaching of eggs, and marine pollution. Many sea turtles die or become disabled due to ingesting plastic waste, which prevents them from returning to the wild

Recognizing the importance of sea turtles, International Laboratories Co., Ltd., in collaboration with the Eastern Gulf Marine and Coastal Resources Research Center, organized the release of 60 sea turtles back into their natural habitat to restore ecological balance.

The company also donated 12 fiber tanks and a roof to the Rare Marine Animal Rescue Center, Pak Nam Prasae, to support sea turtle conservation, ensuring that sea turtles and the Thai seas remain vibrant for future generations.

“ILC Protects Sea Turtles For The Future of Thai Sea Turtles”

On November 5, 2024, International Laboratories Co., Ltd. continued their annual project “Planting 20,000 Trees: Preserving Community Forests to Foster a Low-Carbon Society” in Kanchanaburi Province. This event, which marked the third activity of the year 2024, involved the planting of 4,000 trees in the Ban Rai Sarajok Community Forest and the Ban Nong Pong Community Forest.

The project “Planting 20,000 Trees: Preserving Community Forests to Foster a Low-Carbon Society” was initiated in response to the current severe global warming crisis. One of the significant factors contributing to the intensification of global warming is the degradation of forests. Recognizing this pressing issue, the company launched the tree-planting project, โFor the objective of restoring forest to their original state, thereby reducing the effects of global warming.

ILC’s tree-planting project is a continual annual campaign. This year, the goal is to plant a total of 20,000 trees, with the final event scheduled for November 15, 2024. the project will achieve its target.

On September 28 and October 5, 2024, International Laboratories Co., Ltd. carried out the project “Planting 20,000 Trees, Conservation of Community Forests to Foster a Low-Carbon Society,” in collaboration with the community at Ban Nong Pong Community Forest, Ban Rai Sa Jock Community Forest, Tha Maka District and Ban Lang Khao Community Forest, Ban Hin Dad Thong Community Forest, Ban Nong Gae Nai Community Forest, Bo Phloi District, Kanchanaburi Province.

The project “Planting 20,000 Trees, Conservation of Community Forests to Foster a Low-Carbon Society” was initiated to restore the degradation of natural forests. The deterioration of forests is a significant factor exacerbating global warming. Currently, the issue of global warming has impacted the way of life of humans, not only in Thailand but across the entire world.

Global warming is exacerbated by the increase of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, which results from the burning of fossil fuels. One tree can absorb 9-15 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year and One acre of forest can absorb 2.5 tons of carbon dioxide per year. However, with the current deforestation caused by agricultural expansion and other human activities, the forested areas were decreasing, Meanwhile, the amount of greenhouse gases from human behavior is increasing, further exacerbating global warming.

International Laboratories Co., Ltd. recognizes the importance of global warming. Therefore, the company has been implementing the project “Planting 20,000 Trees, Conservation of Community Forests to Foster a Low-Carbon Society.” This project has been ongoing for over 10 years, with the aim of restoring forest resources to their original state, reducing the severity of global warming for humans and nature to coexist sustainably.
