Census panthers and leopards to be conducted in Thailand’s western forests

[snoop1130]

 

The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation is cooperating with the World Wildlife Fund to undertake a survey of the population of leopards and panthers in Thailand, particularly in the western forest complex, as well as the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai and Phu Khieo-Nam Nao forest complexes.

 

It is expected that the survey will begin in the western forests, because the area is believed to contain more leopards and panthers.

 

Sittichai Nuchailek, chief of the Wildlife Conservation Office, said that the department does not have information about the number of panthers and leopards in the wild in Thailand, although it is estimated there are between 200 and 300 of them, scattered over three forest complexes.
