This forest consists of three large conservation areas: Mae Ping National Park, Omkoi Wildlife Sanctuary, and Mae Tuen Wildlife Sanctuary, covering an area of over 3,400 kilometers. Located in the northwest, it covers several provinces such as Tak, Chiang Mai, and Lamphun. It is considered one of the forests with high biodiversity in Thailand and is an area with potential for the distribution of tigers and many other predators. There were reports of tigers photographed by automatic camera traps in 2024 and tiger footprints were found in 2023.
The project recognizes the importance of the Mae Ping – Omkoi forest as a key area for the conservation of many important wildlife species. As a result, it has started conducting a basic wildlife survey in the area. The data collected will be used to plan effective SMART patrols and prevention strategies, as well as to raise awareness of wildlife conservation in the area. The project will also collaborate with relevant agencies and local communities.
Research on the distribution and abundance of wildlife in the area, especially tigers, using automatic camera traps and creating a database and system for tracking the population and distribution of wildlife in the area.
Prevention and suppression missions through training in both SMART patrol techniques and safety in preventive operations, including support officers’ ability to appropriately apply technology in SMART patrol missions, as well as supporting SMART patrol equipment to enhance the effectiveness of the officers’ patrols.
The project aims to share knowledge and understanding about wildlife conservation so that everyone feels a sense of participation in the conservation of natural resources and endangered wildlife through campaign activities in schools and communities, especially youth who are the hope of the new generation to continue conservation work.
