Local Wildlife
Chiang Mai is surrounded by a large variety of different forest types, Historically, these forests harbored rich and abundant wildlife. We would like to introduce you to the wildlife of the area, showing you how to discover the birds and animals that remain.
For Schools
Early Years- Lower Primary - Half Day Program.
For early years and lower primary students, we offer the opportunity to visit a wildlife protection zone less than 30 minutes from Chiang Mai. Students will be able to see some of the animals which are protected in this area. Students will have the chance to identify birds and animals by looking for animal evidence and by observation.
We can help them to discover a little about food chains, the human/wildlife relationship and their own role in helping to protect wildlife.
We can also tailor bespoke courses to suit specific learning objectives.
Upper Primary - Middle School
Half Day Program.
For Upper-Primary and Middle School we visit a wildlife protection zone. Here we have the opportunity to spot and identify different endemic species. We also teach students how to identify wild animals from footprints and the other marks they leave behind. Students will learn how to take a cast of a footprint and identify species from key features.
Full Day Program.
The extended program offers the opportunity to hike in real forest. Here, students can participate in wildlife-spotting activities,, including the opportunity to retrieve wildlife camera traps and review the footage collected.
We can also tailor bespoke courses to suit specific learning objectives.
High school
Our Highschool programs can be adapted to suit the learning needs of a specific class but we can easily address the following themes and expand or combine them to suit needs:
Humans and wildlife: the complex relationship. We can look at threats, protection and how humans impact the lives of wildlife. After learning about wildlife monitoring techniques, we can collect data from the field, including "Live" camera traps, foot prints and other signs animals leave behind. For smaller groups, we can visit a working wildlife rehabilitation unit and learn about the work they do.
