File photo By Online Reporter A committee of wildlife and conservation experts have held a meeting aimed at addressing what officials say is a growing problem of human and elephant conflicts in Hua Hin. The meeting was held last week at the Kaeng Krachan Forest Elephant Conservation Information Center in Pa La-U. There are now approximately 250 elephants living in the Kaeng Krachan National Park, officials said. The issue of elephants encroaching into farmland, damaging crops and property and attacking villagers, resulting in fatalities, particularly in the Huai Sat Yai area of Hua Hin has intensified in recent months.

Yes indeed. Way too many people in Thailand, and in the world. When I was born the world population was 2 billion, now 8 billion. Before long all wild life will be gone, and humans will be fighting over limited resources. No one wants to talk about this, but they endlessly discuss climate change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
