Khao Luk is located 2 hours drive north Phuket Encounter Phuket on the mainland. In case you cannot find other wildlife organizations Phuket Encounter Phuket - there are also charities for sterilizing of the dogs and cats such as PAWS managed by Athene, Howard, Dr Waraporn and colleagues who are Phuket Encounter in need of funds. Another organization is the Soi Dog Foundation. These people on Phuket do a lot of hard work to try and control the situation and they can always do with a bit of help especially with all the dogs dumped at the Temples. One of the most enjoyable times my family kids aged 2, 4 had was at the Phuket Zoo. AustraliaBrett, the point the poster is making is to visit animal sancturies that focus solely on the god of the animals not a showcase where animals are manhandled,drugged and kept in confined conditions which obviously isnt animal welfare. The elephant rides are a tourist mecca and if you understood what those elephants go through you may think twice before encouraging your children. I hated the Phuket zoo too for reasons of animal neglect and explotation. But prehaps if your husband works at Australia Zoo he could go and put Phuket Encounter official type of Phuket Encounter about the zoo. This topic has been closed to new posts due to inactivity.

    SC61 Doc. 41 Annex 3 (English only / únicamente en inglés / seulement en anglais) Annex 3 Conservation of and trade in tigers and other Appendix-1 Asian big cat species Report submitted by CITES Management Authority of Thailand for the 61st meeting of the Standing Committee To comply with Resolution Conf. 12.5, Thailand has taken various steps on implementing conservation of and trade in tigers and other Appendix-1 Asian big cat including research, population sustainable conservation and management, public awareness, and related law enforcement. 1. The status of Tigers in Thailand In Thailand, tigers occur in 25 of 188 terrestrial protected areas from the southern border with Malaysia to the far north near the borders with Laos and Myanmar. Nine of twenty five protected areas have moderate to high tiger density, and only two of these nine protected areas have a high density of tigers. Currently tigers occur in 10 of 17 recognized terrestrial forest complexes. Six of ten forest complexes support low density of tigers, and one (Western Forest Complex) has a core area with a high tiger density (Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary) while the other three forest complexes (Khaeng Krachan Forest Complex, Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex (DP-KY), and Hala-Bala Forest Complex) support moderate tiger density. During the year 2008 and 2009, Thailand’s tiger biologists from Khao Nang Rum Wildlife Research Station conducted camera trap surveys in Huai Kha Khaeng and Thung Yai Wildlife Sanctuary documenting photo- captures of 39 and 14 individual tigers, respectively. Based on the results and the sign surveys summarized above, biologists have reached a consensus conclusion that there are likely 190-250 tigers remaining in Thailand.
