MSc in Forest Management, Kangwon National University

2022 Scholarship Recipient

It was a huge honor when I was selected as one of the final candidates for the 2021 Landmark Scholarship Award. AFoCO’s scholarship has brought me great opportunities to study and develop myself at Kangwon National University in Korea. During my 2 years studying here, I was very fortunate to be guided and mentored by my dedicated and inspiring supervisor, Professor Jungkee Choi, who always supported and motivated me in my work and studies.

Through the professor’s teaching and guidance, I have tried to improve myself every day, gained more passion and love for work. I have had the opportunity to attend scientific conferences in the field of forestry, as I have met, exchanged with and learned from leading professors and students from many countries. I hope that with the experiences and knowledge I have gained in Korea, I will be able to contribute to the development of the Forestry industry in Vietnam in the future.

Finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to AFOCO for the two-year master’s scholarship. Their generosity and commitment to promoting education had a profound impact on my ability to pursue and complete my education.

2021 Scholarship Recipient

Peace be upon us all..!
I had a great honor of being one of the AFoCO Landmark Scholarship Program’s recipients in 2021. It is a wonderful chance where the dream comes true to achieve the highest level of academic degree. I was very grateful for the great gift I received as a grantee of this program. Accordingly, I took this opportunity with great enthusiasm, although my departure faced a difficult situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. I acquired many things during the three years of my doctoral program at the Department of Forest Science, School of Industrial Science, Kongju National University. The Landmark scholarship program provided me with a lot of experiences, not only in the academic field but also in other fields, including social and cultural. During this program, I found different atmospheres in study life and culture, increasing my knowledge and view. Here, I knew and experienced more Korean cultures and also saw many other cultures from different countries in my interactions with international students.
The experiences and knowledge I obtained in Korea, supported by the Landmark Scholarship Program, will help me achieve my future career as a scientist and forestry practitioner. It will improve my capability to contribute to forestry development and build my ability and readiness to collaborate with other relevant parties, both government and non-government organizations, both national and international. Finally, I express my gratitude to the AFoCO secretariat for the opportunity given to me to achieve my doctoral degree without any financial problems during my three-year stay in South Korea.

Siriluck Thammanu

Royal Forest Department, Thailand

PhD in Forest Environmental Science, Seoul National University

2017 Scholarship Recipient

I am a government officer in Thailand who enjoys the challenges of broadening my educational and cultural experiences for both personal and professional growth. I realized that education, strengthening networks, and fostering cooperation between countries on forest-related issues is crucial to successful forest management and the myriad economic, social, and environmental benefits, improved rural livelihoods, and forest conservation that result. It is this passion and knowledge that inspired me to study abroad.
A four-year period of matriculation at Seoul National University in South Korea paid obvious and immeasurable dividends. I developed a measure of skill and proficiency in forestry, and the opportunities to present my research at international academic conferences proved to be invaluable in expanding a global network of scholars and professionals.

I am infinitely grateful to the Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO) for providing the scholarship that created the opportunity for me to study abroad. Without it, nothing could have been accomplished. The expertise of everyone and every new experience at Seoul National University and throughout this journey has magnified my knowledge and honed my skills to incalculable and unexpected degrees. It has been profoundly memorable to face and overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges and encounter new adventures. Thanks to the AFoCO Landmark Scholarship Program, studying in South Korea has been a life-altering endeavor. It has prepared me to pursue forest management development in Thailand and to collaborate on sustainable forest management strategies among Asian countries.

Areeyapat Petcharat

Royal Forest Department, Thailand

PhD in Agronomy (Forest Resources), Yeungnam University

2018 Scholarship Recipient

I was searching for a new challenge and hoping to pursue my dream of earning a PhD until I was awarded the 2018 AFoCo Landmark Scholarship. I did hope that the PhD program supported by AFoCo would help me develop through an accomplished researcher who would be able to contribute to society by providing information for preserving the integrity of forest resources and enhancing the standard of living for rural inhabitants.

Since March 2018, I have been enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Yeungnam University, where Prof. Yohan Lee is my supervisor. I transferred to the Department of Forest Resources in September 2018 along with my supervisor. My research area is on non-market valuation.

PhD life is all about inner motivation. I was able to build a proper work routine, working hours, and study activities owing to access to sufficient self-motivation, self-discipline, guidance, and supportive recommendations from my knowledgeable supervisor and professors, which helped me earn my PhD eventually. The application of efficient educational methods and the need for native language ability were the two main challenges of studying in ROK. Despite the fact that the majority of professors and PhD candidates speak English, it is crucial to learn basic communication skills in Korean.

MSc in Forest and Environment Policy, Yeungnam University

2020 Scholarship Recipient

I was studying in the Republic of Korea when the COVID-19 pandemic hit but I was fortunate because the country responded well to the outbreak with various preventive and social distancing measures. Yeungnam University also began transitioning to online classes. I study at the Department of Sustainable Development in Forest Resources and Environmental Policy. The university has a large area, a good environment, and a forest area. The faculty staff also help ensure that international students are adjusted well to their new environment.

Thank you to the AFoCO Landmark Scholarships program for supporting government officers to build our capacity and knowledge, and for the life-changing scholarship experience.

MSc in Biological and Environmental Science, Dongguk University

2017 Scholarship Recipient

I can personally attest to the fact that the Landmark Scholarship Program has been successful in attaining its goal not only in capacity building of participants but also in instilling the values for sustainable management of forests and other resources. The program has provided me both technical knowledge of the said field and also given me the opportunity to understand the host country in many aspects. For one, the management of the environment and natural resources in South Korea is very impressive, the people are warm, and the customs and traditions are very rich. This has allowed me to gain the confidence to do my best and fulfill my obligations as a scholar. This was indeed a once in a lifetime opportunity worth being remembered.

Given the prestige of being one of the selected few AFoCO scholars, it is with great pride and privilege to be an alumna of the University and the AFoCO scholarship program. I feel it is imperative for a scholar to carry out and cascade the learnings and make an impact on society. Such an impact brings positive change for the welfare of the people and the environment.

In order to achieve impact, I would basically take advantage of my position in the government to materialize the knowledge and skills I have acquired in the program in terms of effectively managing the environment and natural resources in my country. My participation in the program is crucial as I can now relate the theories and concepts with the actual scenarios of a localized environment and natural resources issues and challenges facing my country. It is an advantage for me to be in the Planning Office as the program sparked a realization that complex challenges require a systematic approach to respond to these peculiarities and recommend solutions and strategies. As a result, I may now propose enhancements to the current policies, plans, programs, and projects of the Department to strengthen sustainable protection and conservation of the environment and natural resources.

2020 Scholarship Recipient

When receiving the letter of acceptance for the AFoCO Landmark Scholarship Program to pursue a master’s degree in Forest Environmental Sciences at Seoul National University, I was speechless and overwhelmed with joy and excitement. This program gave me a chance to study in one of the best countries in the world in the field of forestry. I was lucky to be able to work with a superb and dedicated supervising professor who guided me through difficult times and helped develop my skills and knowledge.

The knowledge and experiences I gained through my study in Korea will help me one step further in achieving my goal of becoming a foremost expert in my field of study. This will also help position me better in the forestry sector so that I can actively seek opportunities to collaborate with other relevant organizations and government agencies. Moreover, I would like to become a bridge for future cooperation between the Vietnamese Academy of Forest Sciences and AFoCO. Finally, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the staff at the AFoCO Secretariat and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences – Seoul National University for all their support for me during the time of my study in Korea.

2019 Scholarship Recipient

The Landmark Scholarship Program has provided me with a good opportunity to improve my competencies in fulfilling our country’s national development through forestry development. The international experience that I gained in the Republic of Korea will definitely help me in my professional career and self-growth, and eventfully, become a professional in the forestry field, especially in forest welfare systems.

When I return to my home country, I would like to do several things to support government programs in the forestry sector. First, I would collaborate with trainers of the ministry of environment and forestry to identify training needs for forestry officers based on best practices and recent innovations of extension strategies that have been successfully implemented overseas. Such strategies could be adopted and modified in Indonesia in the form of certified training curricula for official training nationwide. The first step could be initiated through a mentoring program, in which I would share knowledge and skills obtained from the scholarship program with fellow extension workers. Second, I would like to support our institution to conduct a comprehensive assessment and policy analysis on how to manage and approach people living in and around state forest land both prior to and after policy implementation. For example, I would like to introduce knowledge and skills to promote and improve the effectiveness of agroforestry practices. Third, I will try to contribute to the development of the forest interpreter program in Indonesia by sharing my experiences. Indonesia’s tourism trend has begun to shift towards ‘back to nature’ activities. Forest interpreters can be a new job opportunity for people that live around the forest so that they will be encouraged to protect the forests, which will be perceived as a source of income. I hope that in the future, there will be more collaborative activities between Indonesia and the Republic of Korea.

MSc in Forest Resources, Kookmin University

2017 Scholarship Recipient

Receiving the AFoCO Landmark Scholarship in 2017 is a great honor to me. The scholarship has given me a wonderful opportunity to study at Kookmin University in Korea. During my two years in Korea, I had many opportunities to participate in conferences and workshops such as the Traditional Knowledge and Culture in Asia Conference, the International Society for Ecological Modelling Global Conference, and the International Conference on Environmental Science and Technology. These experiences inspired me to conduct my master’s research on people’s behavior in tree planting decisions using agent-based modeling for my country, Viet Nam. The Program has helped me develop into a more pragmatic and creative thinker. The many opportunities that I have had participating in workshops, conferences and outdoor activities have also helped to enhance my knowledge and made me a more confident person. I feel more enthusiastic about my career and future plan. Raising awareness about the need to protect forest and wildlife has always been my calling in life. I want to use what I have learned to help people in my country manage and protect forests in a sustainable way and contribute to the forestry sector in my home country. My heartfelt thanks to AFoCO for your support and generosity in helping me reach my goals.
