The Guardians Of Thailand’s Largest National Park, Kaeng Krachan | The Last Defenders

Kaeng Krachan is Thailand’s biggest national park and provides a vital sanctuary for a fragile ecosystem.

Netnapa Ngamnet and her team of forest rangers are on the front lines protecting the park from the constant threat of deforestation and poaching. She is also a member the King of Tigers Task Force, an elite unit that investigates environmental crimes. In both her jobs, she faces danger daily – be it from armed poachers or criminal syndicates.

But her determination to uphold environmental protection laws brings her into conflict with the indigenous Karen people. Displaced from her home, Gib Tonnampetch and her family struggle to make ends meet in their relocation village. Gib wants to return to her ancestral lands deep within Kaeng Krachan, to continue the Karen people’s centuries long tradition of rotation crop cultivation.

About the show: They are the last of their kind: environmental defenders putting their lives on the line to protect the forests and wildlife in the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand from armed poachers and criminal syndicates.
