Cower: Khao Sam Roi Yot (Mountain of Three Hundred Peaks) Natural Park

is located in Prachuab Khiri Khan pmvince in Thailand. The 98-kmP park

contains a 40-kmP marsh, an important sanctuary for birds which irr listed in

the Asian Wetlands Directory of the IUCN as a site of global conservation

importance. Vast areas of marsh in the park have been converted into shrimp

ponds. The prestigious Siam Society, a national NGO has urged action by the

government. Although many of the ahrimp ponds have ceased operation

(because of diaeam caused by intensive culture and limited water supply),

new ponds were still being constructed in December 1992. Photo courtesy of
