Career
Boonpragob is Head of the Lichen Research Unit and Assistant Professor of Biological Science at Ramkhamhaeng University. [1] [2] She has published widely, including several books and dozens of articles. [1] She also has a PhD in Ecology. [1] During 2007 she held a post as Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Working Group I. [3] [4] Boonpragob's research has demonstrated that there are already severe economic impacts on Thailand due to the ongoing climate crisis. [5] Much of this impact is on coastal regions, where livelihoods as well as species, are at risk. [5] She is a member of the Graphidaceae Project, administered by the Field Museum. [6] In 2008 she organized the first workshop on thelotremoid Graphidaceae in Thailand. [6] She is a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Tropical Forest Research. [7]
The lichen Ocellularia kansriae is named after Boonpragob, who collected specimens from Eastern Thailand. [8]
