To combat extreme wild animals in the area, the secretary of natural solutions and environment has made plans to construct three elephant training facilities in the eastern regions.
The Department of National Parks Wildlife and Plant Conservation ( DNP ) has been given the order to establish three” Wild Elephant Behaviour Modification Centres” by Pol Gen Phatcharavat Wongsuwan.
Some exotic animals leave the forest to find food, disturbing areas and annoying people, said Pol Gen Phatcharavat.
The Second Wildlife Rescue Center ( Krabok Khu), Chanthaburi’s Kao Soi Dao Wildlife Breeding Station, and Sa Keao’s Pa Chong Klam Bon Wildlife Breeding Station will be the new locations, according to DNP chief Athapol Charoenshunsa.
Rogue elephant will be housed in cages and subjected to behavior-modifying measures.
Mr. Athapol claimed that the Wildlife Conservation Division has been given the task of building the centers by the DNP.
Each center will receive at least 9 million baht, according to the DNP main, to help pay for the running of the services, including water wells, as well as the maintenance of walls.
According to him, each wall will need to be strong enough for the animals and be built in accordance with veterinarian guidelines to ensure the creatures ‘ well-being.
Fresh spaces will be set apart for animals undergoing behavior modification, he added.
However, Lop Buri provincial government launched the second phase of their macaque-catching function on Saturday, with the goal of capturing at least 500 in the next 10 times.
The roving monkeys have been caught in four locations, according to city president Jamroen Salacheep, many of whom have already escaped two preceding get attempts.
The primates will be sent to a holding facility in Muang area, where they are registered, sterilised and put into big walls to prevent them from fighting, Mr Jamroen said.
