The 200-kg deer handed over to Pu Mat National Park
On August 18, the park announced it had received five wild animals from local residents, including three pig-tailed macaques, a yellow-headed box turtle, and a deer weighing around 200 kilogrammes.
All animals were transferred to the park’s wildlife rescue centre for health checks and care before being returned to their natural habitat.
According to the park’s management board, this is the first time in years it has received a deer.
Officials said the voluntary handover of wild animals reflects not only efforts to conserve endangered species but also growing public awareness of nature and biodiversity protection.
