Thread: Officials continue finding proof of forest encroachment

BANGKOK, 8th April 2018 (NNT) - Officials continue to find proof of forest encroachment at a wildlife sanctuary and park in southern Thailand.

A team of rangers has found signs of encroachment at the Sanctuary Wildlife Park - Prince of Kromluang Chumphon, and have revealed that the patterns vary as do the types of forest.

The findings indicate the cutting down of large trees located upstream in an area where various types of animals have their habitat.

They also discovered the planting of rubber trees inside the mixed forest area — an activity of encroachment that slowly takes over forestland.

The Sanctuary Wildlife Park — Prince of Kromluang Chumphon, which covers over 180,000 rai of land, was declared an official sanctuary in 1994 and around 7,800 rai of land was granted for locals to make use of from 1994 and 1998.

A survey to find more land for locals found at least 45,000 rai of land was encroached upon as of 2017.

Might you expect anything less from a surface oligarchy?

It is shocking but the damage is done.

Now how about turning the whole thing into a conservation centre and wildlife sanctuary?
