A stunning elephant conservation project has been created in Thailand. Elephant World is a governmental project in Surin which includes a village for the ethnic Kui, a museum, a field for growing elephant food, as well as initiatives to restore the devastated forest. After decades of wandering the streets of tourist towns begging for food and money or working in unethical elephant camps, Elephant World should provide a source of stable income for the Kui and their elephants through monthly salary. Boonserm Premthada, principle and architect of Bangkok Project studio, says: “Within elephant world, there are various buildings and Bangkok Project studio was responsible for three buildings in total, the elephant museum, the observation tower, and the cultural courtyard.”

Counting everything from a colony of inquisitive Humboldt penguins to Critically Endangered Sumatran tigers the stocktake is a legal requirement as part of the Zoo License. For some zookeepers the task is relatively easy, but imaginative tactics are used by others to ensure every resident at the Zoo is accounted for. The annual audit takes keepers almost a week to complete and the information is shared with other Zoos around the world where the data is used to help manage worldwide conservation breeding?programmes?for?endangered?species.
