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]
