Her
Majesty the Queen has always taken a keen interest in the
complex relationship that exists among living organisms in
Nature and her awareness of the ecosystem has led to initiation
and implementation of a number of environment conservation and
wildlife protection projects when she accompanied His Majesty
the King to visit the people in different regions of the kingdom. |
|

|
Her
Majesty has been concerned about the fact that several
animal species are being destroyed and that animal off-spring
are often taken away from their parents and their habitats,
to be kept in captivity. This has led to her resolution to
fine fertile land in different parts of the country to be
used as open zoos where animals can live freely in natural
surroundings.
To
this end, Her Majesty the Queen has dedicated herself to
hard work, doing everything possible to find solutions for
problems involving wildlife. Determined to conserve animal
species, whenever the villagers present to her as gifts,
wild animals or ornaments made of animal's organs, she
tells them that she would rather see these animals alive. |
|
|
With
her dedication and with support from the public, together
with technical advice from experts, wildlife conservation
projects have been implemented in different parts of the
country.
Bird
Sanctuaries is another project under the royal initiation.
At present two aviaries have been established, one at the
Bangsai SUPPORT Center in Ayutthaya Province and the other
at Khao Khiew in Chonburi Province. At these aviaries, an
emphasis is given on natural settings where birds are
raised properly and propagated. |

|
|
|
The
aviaries also serve as resource centers where information on
rare species of birds that are near extinction can be obtained.
More over, the lovely ornithological creatures there have also
become an inspiration for men to love and care for Nature enough
to want to take care of natural resources and leave them as
legacies to their posterity. |
