Our society assists wild animals that have been confiscated under existing laws and kept in government facilities. These activities include the building of large natural-habitat enclosures for bears, binturong and large cats, islands for gibbons, and larger cages for macaques. We also supplement feeding, provide veterinary treatment, and study behaviour that assists in the moving and better mixing of the animals.


This work occurs in several Wildlife Centres operated by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife & Plant Conservation, formerly known as the Royal Forest Department. There are 20 centres nationwide, the largest of which is located in the Banglamung district of Cholburi province, 150km southeast of Bangkok.


At the Banglamung Wildlife Centre our society works with more than 60 black bears and 30 sun bears held in three enclosures, 30 gibbons and 50 macaques. At the Pang Tong centre in the far northwest of the country we support large and small cats, deer and a wide variety of birds. This work has in the past extended to other facilities in Chachoengsao and Sakaew provinces, and in the only wild animal facility in Laos where rescued bears, primates and cats were brought.
