Project History

Since 1984 researchers have observed the villagers of Nang Rong, talking to individuals, following migrants, and collecting data on their communities and environment. Although the research teams and methods have changed as funding and resources have changed, each has contributed to a growing body of information that describes a dynamic and adaptive population. This history describes two decades of research under five separate projects:
