Over 4.5 kilos of waste were generated by customers to Loei’s Phu Kradueng National Park between October 1 and December 27, according to area director Adison Hemathanon on Sunday, before urging visitors to dispose of their waste in order to protect the resort’s natural environment.
Regulators have been asking visitors to take any spare they might see along the route with them in order to have it properly disposed of since the park reopened on December 23 as part of their effort to keep the area in a state of pristine situation.
Since the initiative was launched, Mr Adison said climbers have brought down about 60.5 kg of waste. Immediately, between Oct 1 and Dec 27, customers, porters and park officials brought down 4, 569 kg of non-biodegradable spend.
Vendors along the path have been instructed to dispose of their filth in safe waste pits that are off limits to wild animals in order to stop the squander from polluting the environment.
According to Mr. Adisorn, park authorities are also urging visitors to bring washable and/or bio-degradable pots to reduce the amount of waste left in the area.
After the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation ( DNP ) ordered it not to place waste bins along walking trails to prevent wild elephant attacks, Chulakorn Muangkaew, director of the Protected Area Regional Office 8 in Khon Kaen, reported that the park has made significant changes to its waste management protocols.
A 49-year-old girl from Chachoengsao died on December 11 when she was attacked by a wild rhinoceros while walking from her camp to Phen Phop Mai river. For security, DNP closed Phu Kradueng National Park for ten days.
He remarked that” travellers and shop owners may be held accountable for their own waste.”
