Hej
Den parkvakt som ingrep mot tjuvjägare i Thungyai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary som är en nationalpark i Khanchanaburi har fått en rad erkännanden ifrån olika organisationer som United States Agency for International Development, Interpol och Freeland Foundation för sitt ingripande mot en inflytelserik chef för Italian-Thai Development som sköt en svart panter i nationalparken.
Nu har även FN uppmärksammat denne parkvakt som aldrig trodde att hans ingripande skulle ge så stor uppmärksamhet.
Men den ör han väl värd, alla nationalparker skulle ha anställda som honom.

BANGKOK — The forest ranger who tracked down and arrested a construction magnate suspected of poaching animals in a wildlife sanctuary earlier this year was awarded for his courage Thursday.
Wichien Chinnawong, chief ranger at the Thungyai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary, was among nine winners in Asia recognized for their work in preventing transnational environmental crimes by the United States Agency for International Development, Interpol and the Freeland Foundation.
Although Wichien’s arrest of Premchai Karnasuta in Kanchanaburi province did not involve a transnational crime, he received a special commendation award in light of his “outstanding accomplishments.”
“When it became clear that one of the members of the group was a renowned, wealthy and influential businessman in Thailand, the team [led by Wichien] did not show any sign of intimidation and instead carried out their duties as enforcers of the law,” UN Environment Asia said in a statement.
Wichien, 37, hunted down Premchai Karnasuta, the powerful president of Italian-Thai Development, which led to his arrest at a campsite in the Thungyai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary, where he was found with animal carcasses and hunting rifles.
