This Earth Day, Marasca Khao Yai proudly continued our tradition of hands-on conservation with a contribution to Khao Yai National Park through our Marasca Care program. We rolled up our sleeves to construct artificial salt licks, a crucial project that supports the park's ecosystem. These salt licks deliver essential minerals such as sodium, calcium, and potassium directly to the wildlife, helping to sustain their health and keep them safely within their natural environment. This initiative not only nourishes the park's animals but also curtails their need to venture into nearby communities in search of these vital nutrients.

A Practical Approach to Conservation
Our focus this year was on a practical yet impactful intervention: building artificial salt licks. These facilities are more than just mineral deposits; they are lifelines that provide wildlife with the nutrients essential for their well-being. By ensuring these minerals are readily available in their habitat, we significantly reduce the chances of animals straying into human-populated areas. This proactive approach not only contributes to the health of the wildlife but also plays a critical role in mitigating potential conflicts between humans and animals, thus promoting a harmonious living environment.
Khao Yai National Park: A Haven of Biodiversity
Khao Yai National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, spans over 2,168 square kilometers of diverse ecosystems. This park is a sanctuary for numerous species, including elephants and over 300 bird species. Its extensive forests and breathtaking waterfalls draw countless nature enthusiasts and eco-tourists every year, making it a vital hub for biodiversity and natural beauty.
