Thung Kik Wildlife Recovery Network Unite for Nature

Collaboration is the key to bringing our forests back to life.

On May 6, 2026, a new chapter for wildlife began at Mae Ping National Park, Lamphun. Local communities joined hands with the National Park and WWF Thailand to launch the “Thung Kik Wildlife Recovery Network.”

This isn’t just a meeting, it’s a movement. Participants got their hands dirty by restoring grasslands and building artificial salt licks to ensure the wildlife has plenty to eat.

This effort is a core part of the project to expand the habitat for tigers and wild cats in the Mae Ping-Omkoi forest. By working together, we are building a thriving ecosystem where people and nature can live in harmony. The birth of this network is a major milestone in preparing our forests for the return of these majestic predators.

This project is supported by IUCN Save Our Species’s Integrated Tiger Habitat Conservation Programme, funded by Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ) via KfW.
