Elephant and other wild animals have fled to nearby places to forage for food as a result of the rainfall that El Nino has caused at the Huay Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, according to an official.
According to Tonsak Nipanan, the head of the Huay Kha Khaeng animals rearing place, some wildlife has entered the place area while others have wandered off.
On the outskirts of the Huay Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary in the Lansak city of Uthai Thani province’s tambon Rabam, there is a practically 2, 000 ray animals breeding place.
In an region being prepared for the growth of the Huay Kha Haeng Wildlife Santuary, which includes portions of Uthai Thani, Kanchanaburi, and Tak regions, according to Mr. Tonsak, a peasant was killed on August 13 by an elephant in the wild.
Thus, he advised hikers to be on the lookout for any potential threats from wild animals near Huay Kha Khaeng.
According to Mr. Tonsak, the animals rearing station he oversees is less impacted by drought because it has three reservoirs that each cover 17, 7, and 3 ra of land to hold water for animals.
A 12-kilometer-long fence has been constructed along one section of the breeding station’s border to prevent wildlife from the sanctuary from intruding upon it, but this is insufficient to properly contain animals, especially wild elephants.
In order to encourage nature hospitality, Mr. Tonsak stated that the place currently has about 400 exotic wildlife, mostly pig antelope and eld’s elk, and that it plans to release some of them into the Huay Salao and no-hunting areas.
Additionally, the place is raising 11 tigers and 7 leopards that were brought in from somewhere when they were younger.
For nature and wildlife research, the Huay Kha Khaeng habitat breeding place is open and available every day between 8.30 am and 4.30 pm. There are now some crazy elephants roaming outside, so the opening day may be changed for safety, he continued.
