History

The Western Forest Complex is not a homogenous area administered by one entity (notwithstanding the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department, that controls all the protected areas in Thailand). It is a diverse territory that has been forming over a period of more than four decades with each of its national parks and wildlife sanctuaries having an own management and strategy.

Proclaimed in 1965 the Salakpra Wildlife Sanctuary was the first protected area in the region. 18 other national parks and wildlife sanctuaries followed until today.
 

The project is funded by the Government of the Czech Republic (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and conducted with support of the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department (DNP), Thai Ecotourism and Adventure Travel Association (TEATA), Foundation of Western Forest Complex Conservation (FWFCC) and Tourism Promotion Society of Kanchanaburi (TSK).
