Peerawat Waeda-oh, the chief of Namtok Seepo National Park in Thailand’s southern border province of Narathiwat, who has earned a reputation for being tough on illegal loggers, has been transferred to an inactive post in Nakhon Sawan.

 

No clear reason was stated in the transfer order, which was dated October 29th and issued by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation. Peerawat’s supporters and conservationists in the province believe that his abrupt transfer may, however, be linked to his crackdown on illegal logging, which has made him a target.

 

In June this year, park rangers found that 15 precious ta-khian trees (Hopea odorata), some of them over 100 years old, had been felled in the Namtok Seepo national park in Si Sakhon district.

Thailand really is a very sick country, Buddhist only in name. Money, and only money, is the real name of the game. With money comes power, and those who have it will do anything to a) hang on to the money and power they have, and b) acquire more of it. Unfortunately, the powers that be belong to the wealthy class, they call the shots, so this is going to last into perpetuity.
