Kansri Boonpragob (Thai: กัณฑรีย์ บุญประกอบ) is a lichenologist and climatologist from Thailand, who leads the Lichen Research Unit at Ramkhamhaeng University.
In 1987, she completed her PhD at Arizona State University under the supervision of Tom Nash, focusing on the ecophysiology and impact of air pollution on lichens, particularly Ramalina menziesii in California.
[2][3] She has published widely, including more than 50 scientific journal articles, several books, and numerous introductory works on lichens, ecology, and botany written in Thai.
[1] Boonpragob's research has demonstrated that there are already severe economic impacts on Thailand due to the ongoing climate crisis.
[8] The lichen Ocellularia kansriae is named after Boonpragob, who collected specimens from Eastern Thailand.
