Wildlife at Thung Salaeng Luang National Park in Phitsanulok province is recovering in the absence of disturbance from visitors, the park chief has revealed.

 

“The forests and meadows are habitats and important food sources for animals. During the closure of our tourist attractions, bison, bears, deer, foxes, barking deer, porcupines and wild boars are wandering all over the park in search of food," said Witoon Detpramuanphon.

 

For the past month, the animals have been gathering in an open meadow near water sources because there is no scent or voices of humans, he added.

 

This has allowed park officials to set up a camera to record footage of the wildlife during both the day and night.

 

Moreover, the forest and its plants are regaining foliage ahead of the rainy season, giving herbivores plenty to graze on.

"Humans caged in lockdown?"  While animals roam free!  What is wrong with this picture?

Absolutely nothing.

Perhaps, then, all National Parks should be closed for 6 months of the year to allow nature to restore itself and provide a better habitat for the creatures and plants that have lived there since long before man came along!

 

That would be to easy of a solution.  Surely we can't have that.  ????
