Among those, let's pay our first attention to one of
the major problems that is facing the whole world to day .... much of wild animals
are in danger... they are being wiped out from the earth.
Being a tropical country and located in monsoon path, Thailand used to be a large sanctuary of wildlife,
back in the time when most part of the country was covered by rain forest. But, as time passes, the rain forest area is now shrinks
to to somewhat less than 30 percent of the whole area. Results in decretion of the amount and kinds of both wild flora and faona.
Like many other countries,
civilization destroyed much of them.......
At present, more than 110 species of those wild animals including birds, fish and plants are about to vanish from
this planet.... who knows.... may be some of them have already gone.... Take a look at the picture on the right.
It's a turtle called ....... " Tao Pulu"...... This animal is one of the endagered species and hard to find nowadays
....... Why not let them live peacefully with us ?
Next, let's
enjoy the beauty of BONSAI, the miniature plants that are world wide well known. As you know, to grow bonsai is an art
and to keep these tiny plants in good shape takes much of effort. You have to be patient watch them grow up inch by inch, leave by
leave and branch by branch.
But the result is beyond
evaluation. Just imagine, more than bringing peaceful to your mind, it teaches you how to be patient and lets you know the real
meaning of patience and waiting. ........Well, you'd better see it yourself
Moreover, there is another type of trained plants that existed only in Thailand. The Thai traditional style trained plants. It is some thing else differ from the bonsai generally seen and can not be counted as bonsai. You might be amaized with the unique appearance that takes over 10 years to finish, while the ordinary binsai takes only 2 to 5 years to complete its form. It's a real unique that you can't find from anywhere else in this world.
