WWF Thailand with funding from DANCED is currently in the initiation phase of their "Wildlife Trade Campaign 2000 - 2003". This campaign aims to create awareness amongst tourists, and others, concerning the issues of illegal trade of wildlife in Thailand and neighbouring countries.
FIG's role in this project is to provide technical assistance and support in the area of illegal trade in CITES listed insects. FIG is also represented on the steering commitee (Chaweewan Hutacharern) for the project and as a technical advisor (Robert Cunningham ).
In this capacity we participated as trainers in a "Team Capacity-Building Workshop" held a Maruay Harden Hotel October 17 2000. At this workshop Dr Chaweewan discussed the issues of "Trade in Regulated Insects in Thailand" and presented a supporting paper.
Both the Thai language version of the presentation and a PDF version of the paper, suitable for printing, are available.
