Donation of Handheld Radio Transceivers
to reinforce forest patrol at Thungyai
July 7, 2006

                   It is a considerate dangerous time for Thungyai when rainy season comes. The only route of Thungyai during rainy is almost unaccessible and therefore, by the force of such trouble condition itself, has less patrol than other times of a year.  So, poachers are likely take this opportunity to encroach. Lately, a number of poaching occurred in only a few month. Mr. Pairath Sun-Hua, the assistant chief of Thungyai, realized the situation.  Accordingly, he raised extra patrol duties covering the dangerous season.

                    To reinforce and empower the extra duties according to his prospect, At Thungyai head office, WFCC donated 4 additional handheld radio transceivers dated July 7, 2006 in addition to WFCC Ranger Support Project we have been doing continuously. Mr. Erb Cheong Sa-Ard; the cheif and the representative, handed in and would then distribute the radios to the wildlife protection unit in need. Along our plan, we have already supported nearly 50 handheld radio transceivers distributed throughout west Thungyai. Expectedly, those would equip and reinforce forest patrol in west Thungyai, and poaching may reduce somehow.
