Thailand Conservation

The Benefit of Conservation
	Each year countless numbers of animal species become endangered or extinct, sometimes without us even realizing. Some species, however, have been rescued from the brink of extinction, thanks to conservationists and scientists in biological and medical fields. When a rare or endangered species of animal is saved, our children have a chance to come into contact with them personally instead of only reading about them in books. Some rare species play a vital part in the animal food chain, contributing to the balance of population in the wild, such as owls keep field rats population from growing rampant. Conservation is necessary to ensure the survival of various species of animals that play an important role in the balance of nature and the evolution of the living animals.

Conservation Programs for Youths
Conservation programs for youths are designed to instill awareness of the great importance of conservation in children and youths, so they may grow up with the correct attitude and approach towards animals and their habitats. To achieve this we organize activities and events ideal for children and youths to participate in. Direct participation allows them first-hand experience at appreciating the importance of conservation. Our activities include:- - School fields trips to our 5 zoos - Competitions in drawings with themes involving animals and their habitats - Personal encounters with animals (under supervision of zoo keepers)

Conservation Programs for adults
Conservation programs for adults are open for keen conservationists as well as the general public to take advantage of the ZPO's public facilities in all 5 zoos in Thailand. As a member of the international zoological community, we are keen to play our part in contributing to the breeding of animals that are needed in different zoos around the world. We focus on animals that inhabit the jungles of Thailand, that are not found elsewhere, so that zoo-goers in other countries can experience animals not only native to their land, just as Thai zoo-goers can enjoy seeing African elephants, giraffes and penguins.

Returning Animals to the Wild
One of the ZPO's final goals for animals in its care is returning them to the wild. Returning animals to the wild is a very delicate undertaking that requires careful training of animals so they are able to adapt to their habitats in the wild. Sometimes an animal cannot be returned to the wild, whilst another may be able to survive in the early stages only to wind up unable to fend for themselves later. The ZPO's role is to train animals to be ready with mental and physical ability to cope when they enter the wild, and to coordinate with the Forestry Department to monitor those animals which are returned, to ensure their survival and well-being.
