A Comparative Study of Conservation Strategies of Two Selected National Parks from Pakistan & Thailand: Lessons learned from each other.

The conservation strategies of two national parks i.e., Chiltan Hazarganji of Pakistan and Kaeng Krachan of Thailand were compared in this study. It was found that that Kaeng Krachan national park has much better "Zoning schemes" conservation strategies than Chiltan Hazarganji national park. However, the "trophy hunting" and community involvement of Chiltan Hazarganji were also important for conservation of Chiltan Markhor. The best conservation strategies of Kaeng Krachan national park may be attributed not only to awareness of the Thai people about biodiversity conservation but also the strong political will of Thailand's government to promote tourism industry of the country. The study therefore recommends the exchange of information on natural resources conservation between the two countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
