The research, which tracked the trade and ownership of lions across licensed and unlicensed zoos, breeding farms, and private homes/businesses over a seven-year period, paints a disturbing picture of the booming lion industry in Thailand.
Awareness Campaign about Wildlife Exploitation
WFFT and WFI are starting a new campaign to create more awareness about the illegal wildlife trade for the pet and tourist trade. These 3 posters were designed by a Thai student to help spread the message. We are now asking permission from authorities and local businesses to present these posters on the islands of Koh Samui and Phuket and other places where wildlife is often exploited by tourists. WFFT would like to thank Miss Soontaree Jaiman from the Visual Communication Design Department of Design Poh-Chang Academy of Arts for designing this great campaign.
