In 2024, the WWF Foundation supported a wildlife conservation project in the Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex in maintaining 200 rai of grassland, an essential food source and habitat for various wildlife species. This effort included removing weeds, planting grass, and creating artificial salt licks which aims to attract elephants to forage within the forest area, reducing their movement into agricultural plots and mitigating human-elephant conflicts.
Habitat improvement is crucial for effective nature conservation and ecosystem management, ensuring a sustainable food supply and maintaining wildlife populations. Regular assessment and monitoring of wildlife land use help measure the success of habitat improvements and ensure the availability of diverse food sources to adequately support wildlife needs.
Additionally, WWF Foundation also provided 6 water filters, 80 headlamps, and 167 waterproof bags to Kuiburi National Park, Kaeng Krachan National Park, and Mae Nam Phachi Wildlife Sanctuary. These essential supplies supported the park and wildlife sanctuary in enhancing the effectiveness of quality patrol operations and helped mitigate human-elephant conflicts.
