Covering 358,493 acres across 24 villages in the Pawklo River basin, PIST represents a robust model of environmental governance. The territory is established on the principles of self-determination and sustainable resource management, encompassing 11 community forests and 15 fish conservation zones. These efforts serve as a vital sanctuary for endangered species, including the Malayan tapir, wild elephants, and tigers.

As the third indigenous territory declared in Kawthoolei—following the Salween Peace Park and Thawthi Taw-Oo—PIST serves as a testament to the power of community-led conservation. By integrating traditional ecological knowledge and rotational farming with modern governance, PIST not only protects biodiversity but also secures the cultural heritage and future of the Karen people.
