Nowadadys, only five or six individuals can be found within a flock, often seen feeding by rivers or ponds surrounded by forests. They’re distributed in south western China, Indo-china, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. In Thailand, they can be found in Chiang Rai province, the Central Plains, Surat Thani province, Trang province, and Phuket province. The white-shouldered ibis is already extinct from the wild in Thailand due to their large size which made them easy hunting targets and their low adaptability to environmental changes, all exacerbated by habitat destruction (Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research, 1990).

  • Thailand 2017
    Thailand, 22nd November – 5th December 2017 Mike Hoit [email protected] After considering a couple of potential locations for a late 2017 wildlife-watching trip, I failed to get my act together for any of them and went for the easy option of a last minute Thai holiday. For the first five days I headed south to catch up with a mate who was travelling in the area, and to then meet other friends; very much not a mammalwatching part of the trip! After returning to Bangkok I split my time between Kaeng Krachan (KK), Khao Yai (KY) and Pang Sida (PS) before trying for cetaceans in the Gulf of Thailand. Having previously visited the country in 2009 (Kaeng Krachan and Petchaburi area, four days) and 2012 (Krabi area, seven days), I had a limited hit-list of birds I was hoping to clean up on by day, leaving plenty of time to focus on mammals. This was - mostly – extremely successful, although extra time would have been useful at a couple of locations, and if I’d been able to stay for longer I would have tried to visit a couple more areas detailed below. The species lists for each site follow the sequence of the field guide. Logistics/Accommodation As well as being a brilliant place for mammalwatching (although still somewhat underrated, in my opinion), it’s really, really easy to organise independently. Plenty of good standard, cheap accommodation can be booked online (I used booking.com), the roads are generally good (and driving standards not too terrifying), the food is outstanding, and the people friendly; for the most part, everything just works.

  • Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex Thailand
    DONG PHAYAYEN-KHAO YAI FOREST COMPLEX THAILAND This complex of five protected forests in southern east Thailand forms a continuous topographic, climatic and vegetation gradient along some 200 km of hilly escarpment. It contains all the major rainforest habitat types of eastern Thailand and some of the region’s largest remaining populations of many tropical forest species which are under pressure elsewhere. COUNTRY Thailand NAME Dong Phayayen-KhaoYai Forest Complex NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SERIAL SITE 2005: Inscribed on the World Heritage list under Natural Criterion x. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE [pending] The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following statement at the time of inscription: Justification for Inscription Criterion (x): The Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex (DPKY-FC) contains more than 800 fauna species, including 112 species of mammals, 392 species of birds and 200 reptiles and amphibians. It is internationally important for the conservation of globally threatened and endangered mammal, bird and reptile species that are recognised as being of outstanding universal value. This includes 1 critically endangered, 4 endangered and 19 vulnerable species. The area contains the last substantial area of globally important tropical forest ecosystems of the Thailandian Monsoon Forest biogeographic province in northeast Thailand, which in turn can provide a viable area for long-term survival of endangered, globally important species, including tiger, elephant, leopard cat and banteng. The unique overlap of the range of two species of gibbon, including the vulnerable Pileated Gibbon, further adds to the global value of the complex. In addition to the resident species the complex plays an important role for the conservation of migratory species, including the endangered Spot-billed Pelican and critically endangered Greater Adjutant.

  • Wild Ways Well and Deer
    Wild Ways Well and Deer Today’s Wild Ways Well task is to go for a walk in your local greenspace and keep an eye out for deer… Remember to follow the guidelines on Social Distancing, stay 2m apart from other people and only walk in your local area – and remember to wash your hands! You’ll Be Active by carefully walking outdoors (observing social distancing) keeping your mind busy and occupying your time looking for signs of these elusive mammals. Deer are quite common, even in urban areas, but spotting them can be difficult. We can Connect with deer by opening up our senses and empathising with the way they live their lives. Deer have many of the same needs as us – how do they find food, water and shelter in Cumbernauld? How do their senses compare to ours? Do they see the world in the same way we do? We can Keep Learning, there are hundreds of web pages, book and tv programmes dedicated to deer. Deer have been part of human culture for thousands of years, we can learn what our ancestors thought of them and how we can live alongside them today. Although they are secretive and hard to see Deer area actually all around us, and are vital to the ecosystem we all share but we rarely Take Notice and look very closely at them. It’s amazing how much we miss out in nature when we just walk through without paying attention to what is around us. We can Give by giving ourselves a break from the drama of the current events and focusing on the little things around us that give us pleasure and by sharing these with others, in person or online.

  • The Archaeobotany of Khao Sam Kaeo and Phu Khao Thong: the Agriculture of Late Prehistoric Southern Thailand (Volume 1)
    The Archaeobotany of Khao Sam Kaeo and Phu Khao Thong: The Agriculture of Late Prehistoric Southern Thailand (Volume 1) Cristina Castillo Institute of Archaeology University College London Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of University College London 2013 Declaration I hereby declare that this dissertation consists of original work undertaken by the undersigned. Where other sources of information have been used, they have been acknowledged. Cristina Castillo October 2013 Institute of Archaeology, UCL 2 Abstract The Thai-Malay Peninsula lies at the heart of Southeast Asia. Geographically, the narrowest point is forty kilometres and forms a barrier against straightforward navigation from the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea and vice versa. This would have either led vessels to cabotage the southernmost part of the peninsula or portage across the peninsula to avoid circumnavigating. The peninsula made easy crossing points strategic locations commercially and politically. Early movements of people along exchange routes would have required areas for rest, ports, repair of boats and replenishment of goods. These feeder stations may have grown to become entrepôts and urban centres. This study investigates the archaeobotany of two sites in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Khao Sam Kaeo and Phu Khao Thong. Khao Sam Kaeo is located on the east whereas Phu Khao Thong lies on the west of the peninsula and both date to the Late Prehistoric period (ca. 400-100 BC). Khao Sam Kaeo has been identified as the earliest urban site from the Late Prehistoric period in Southeast Asia engaged in trans-Asiatic exchange networks.

Field surveys in the Song Thanh and Saola Quang Nam Nature Reserves (Quang Nam Prov- ince, central Vietnam) were conducted in 2018 and 2019. In total, 197 individuals of small mammals were captured and studied in the field or collected as voucher specimens. Based on these data, an updated checklist of small mammals of Quang Nam Province is provided. A total of 78 species in 15 families and 6 orders is recorded from both reserves: viz., 57 species in the Song Thanh Nature Reserve and 39 species in the Saola Quang Nam Nature Reserve. Records of 20 species are new to the mammal checklist of Quang Nam Province.
