People of the Park: Meet Khampaeng
Khampaeng is a guide and boatman from Ban Son Khoua, the village at the start of the Nam Nern Night Safari. He uses his expert knowledge of the forest to point out wildlife and to show tourists the medicinal plants and history of the area.
People of the Park: Meet Bang
Bang is a villager from Nam Poung Village who uses the forest to feed her family, collecting wild bamboo shoots and ferns. She says that many people still depend on wildlife, such as rats, squirrels and small birds, for nutrition and to earn income by selling non-timber forest products such as wild mushrooms.
Vongphet, from Navene Village, is a research technician who uses his knowledge of the forest and wildlife as a former hunter to place camera traps in key locations to collect data on populations of important species such as tigers, bears, dhole and gibbons.
