A forum on the use of contraceptives to reduce the number of wild elephants and address the problem of the animals wandering outside conservation areas was held by the Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation ( DNP ).

The conference was attended by about 300 individuals, including affected populations, scientists, rhino conservation groups and Members. Opinions were split. Some favored contraceptive vaccinations, while others believed that preventing wild elephants from eroding on nearby communities may require vaccinations.

DNP director-general Athapol Charoenshunsa said about 4, 013–4, 422 wild animals live in 91 protection locations nationwide. The issue of wild animals wandering outside their designated environments affects populations in five forest structures: the Western Forest, the Eastern Forest, the Dong Phaya Yen–Khao Yai Forest, the Phu Khieo–Nam Nao Forest and the Kaeng Krachan Forest.

In more than 41 protection areas spread across 42 regions, conflicts between people and wild animals have been reported.

These vaccines, formerly used on American elephant, were tested in April 2024 on seven mature female animals. According to Mr. Athapol, each vaccine dose was shown to inhibit hormone production for up to seven years and never interfere with elephant behavior.

The high cost of importing vaccinations and the operational difficulties of using them, according to Chaiwat Limlikit-aksorn, head of the National Park Office. Elephants and people are at risk from vaccinations in wild animals, and it takes experienced teams to carry them out.

Mr Chaiwat said the vaccination job may be cancelled, and various options pursued, such as recovering environments for these species.
