Mr. Tim and Mr. Songkram helped packing materials .

6 am. we arrived at Runtee river and stopped on the hill top by the river bank at Koengsada wildlife protection station for morning coffee .

after short stop at Koengsda wildlife protection station then we continued to Bann Unrak school in Sangkhlaburi near Mayanmar boerder . Didi Devamala who looked after the school was happy when know that Mr. Tim had brought along a lot of educational staff for her school .

after we left the school then headed to Takeanthong wildlife protection station and picked up some rangers.. then the mission of Salawa radio sysytem installation begun .

the track to Salawa wildlife protection station was one of the most extreme track of Thungai Naresuan Wildilife Sanctuary especially in the middle of the rainy season . the distance of 7 kilometers required all energy of volunteers and rangers to help pushing the truck to the finish line .

Salawa wildlife protection station was first constructed in 1992 by Mr. Weerawat , former head in command , to reduce illegal activities such as poahers and wood cutter in the area . Then it was cancelled 4 years later because of the difficculties to support rangers working at this wildlife protection station .

In year 2001 , Mr. Paiboon Sawetmalanon revised the wildlife protection station reconstruction project and the reconstrucion was finished in year 2002 . The main task and responsibility of this wildlife protection station is to protect and conserve nature and wildlife of Thungyai where the main area is next to Mayanmar border .

so , the radio system is more needed by the rangers in this remote station . WFCC then took Salawa wildlife protection station under WFCC solar cell and radio system installation .

this mission is to installed radio antenna , cable and transceiver to construct a small radio network to Takeanthong wildlife protection radio station .

the radio system helped the rangers of Salawa more confident and be more assured that they would never walked alone again .

after the antenna installation operation completed , the test begun .

the success of the mission was worth memorable to all participants .

" angel bullet " was one of a hard to be found wild species around this area shall continued its existing as long as the rangers of Salawa wildlife protection station exist on their duty .

beautiful wild mushroom shall sing its song of the wild in the deep forest in the hope that mankind shall listen to it .

man made the world on one hand and destroy it on another hand .

everyone can help save wildlife and nature of the world , though the green group is still small today but it shall grow in another day when more and more people are aware of nature and wildlife importance.
