A deer giving birth might not appear remarkable. But when the fawn is born in Mae Wong – Khlong Lan national parks in the north of Thailand, it’s cause for great celebration because it marks a major achievement in the progress of a rewilding project.

 

At the recent annual seminar held by Kasetsart University’s Faculty of Forestry, researchers, students, activists, and interested members of the public got together in person for the first time since the Covid pandemic to share their studies, research and activities as well as exchange ideas on natural conservation. The results of the project to increase the sambar deer population were also presented.

 

Since 2010, the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) and the WWF Thailand as well as local communities have been working closely to grow the population of tigers in the Upper Western Complex, covering Mae Wong, Khlong Lan, and Khlong Wang Chao national parks and Umphang Wildlife Sanctuary in Nakhon Sawan, Kamphaeng Petch and Tak provinces.
