We are keen that this issue be addressed and properly placed in the context of a national conservation strategy before any attempts are made to release captive animals to the wild without due thought and preparation. We are also keen to explore ways in which the situation for wild animals held in captivity in Tr~land , whether in public zoos and nature education centres or private hands , can be improved. We are aware that our record to date is not without fault and we appreciate your interest in lending a hand. We would be grateful if you could arrange funding for such a workshop. Our own budget is already over-stretched. We would like to invite all interested parties to join from both the government and non-government sectors. We look forward to hearing from you. Yours Sincerely, Dr. Ronald L.

  • Pileated Gibbon (Hylobates Pileatus) in Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary. Do They Have a Future?
    Vorn Vichheka / GMSARN International Journal 1 (2007) 75 - 82 Pileated Gibbon (Hylobates Pileatus) in Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary. Do They Have a Future? Vorn Vichheka Abstract — Samkos is a Wildlife Sanctuary gazetted through Royal Decree which means strictly protected. It covers approximately 331.000ha of which approximately 235.000 ha is tall evergreen forest considered as Pileated Gibbon (Hylobates pileatus) habitat. The Pileated Gibbon is listed as “vulnerable” by the IUCN red list but the number of Pileated Gibbons is very high in Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary where the population is believed to number approximately 6100 individuals. However, human activities such as illegal hunting, habitat degradation and infrastructure development pose serious threats to the long term survival of the Pileated Gibbon. If these activities continue at the current level in the future it is believed that the population of Pileated Gibbon will decrease to critical low levels within the next 10-20 years. Keywords — Habitat fragmentation, Infrastructure development, Pileated gibbon. preferred by gibbons(Coleridge et al ., 2005) 1.

  • China Birding Report Template
    Thailand (with short notes on Laos) 23 Dec 2006 – 7 Jan 2007 Björn Anderson General This was a combined family holiday and birding trip. We started off with a few days of general sightseeing around Luang Prabang in Laos before travelling south to well-known Khao Lak in peninsular Thailand. From there I made one half-day birding venture to Khao Sok National Park as well as the pilgrimage trip to Similan Island for the long-awaited Nicobar Pigeon. At the end of the trip I stayed on for a few more extra days and went to Khao Yai in order to pick up a few so-far missed birds. This proved highly successful and I managed to see the targeted Coral-billed Ground- Cuckoo, Siamese Fireback, Eared Pitta as well as an incredibly nice sighting of Oriental Bay-Owl. In addition to these I also encountered goodies such as Blue Pitta, Scaly-breasted Partridge and a selection of hornbills, barbets, etc. Myself (left) and displaying Siamese Fireback (the flapping guy to the right) Itinerary 23/12 We left Beijing in the early evening and arrived at Bangkok around 22.00 local time and quickly transferred to a nearby hotel. 24/12 In the morning we took a short range flight from Bangkok to Luang Prabang in Lao’s People Democratic Republic. At the local airport we swiftly arrange an open-air taxi that took us to our pre- booked hotel near the centre of town. Town is actually a bit of an exaggeration as it turned out that is was possible to walk all around the centre in less than an hour.

    Ecotourism Management for Sustainability in Protected Areas in Thailand Nirachorn Chitapanya Master of Environmental Management UTAS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Environmental Management School of Geography and Environmental Studies University of Tasmania Hobart, Tasmania, Australia August 2005 STATEMENT OF AUTHENTICITY This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other higher degree or graduate diploma in any tertiary institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no copy or paraphrase of material previously published or written by other persons, except when due reference is made in the text of the thesis. ri714 Nirachorn Chitapanya ABSTRACT Tourism is one of the largest industries in terms of employment. It has played a significant role in supporting many countries economies. Tourism, however, can harm the natural environment and cause problems such as biodiversity degradation, garbage and wastewater if tourism is inappropriately planned and managed. Over the past decade, there has been increasing in environmental awareness regarding the negative impacts of mass tourism on the environment. Sustainable tourism and ecotourism have become more popular among tourists and environmentalists and are believed to meet the requirement of sustainable development. These two forms of tourism can be defined as alternative tourism which emphasizes minimum impact on the environment, maintains natural resources and consider the well-being of local people. As ecotourism is based the natural areas, - and often take place in protected areas such as terrestrial and marine national parks. In Thailand, protected areas have long provided important natural resources and activities for visitor for education, tourism and recreation.
