EP. 1764: Writer/Creator Prin Uthaisangchai (Sanctuary of the Leatherback)

The Sanctuary of the Leatherback is the continuing stories, following the first documentary, The Story of the Leatherback. This documentary will raise an important issue, relating to the recent death of mother Tai Meaung, a mother leatherback turtle along with her 136 unhatched babies in her belly. The incident is heartbreaking. Losing her has been a major blow for the conservation efforts for this turtle specie, one of the critically endangered animals in Thailand. The documentary further addressed an important study report that has been purposed by The Committee on Land, Natural Resources and Environment, House of Representatives. The report proposed an expansion of the jurisdiction of the Khao Lampi-Hat tai meung National Park to include the Coral Line, which is an important habitat for the Leatherback and other sea turtles during nesting season. Combining the coral line to be a part of the national park will be an essential step towards protecting these beautiful endangered species and its pristine habitats both on land and sea. If the effort can be realized, it will ensure the place to be the true “Sanctuary of the Leatherback” and to preserve biodiversity and bring back balance to the world for future generations. ——- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod
