This paper aimed to spatial biological diversity effecting to create the food security of the ethnic’s Chong in Chanthaburi Province. The area study is mountain and forest. The methodology was 2 forms:-1. Participatory Research by searching for a commitment approach among researchers and ethnic groups and 2.
