The World Wildlife Fund Thailand, whose aim is to conserve nature and tackle the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth, is holding an exhibition titled "Dawna Tenasserim: The Hidden Forests Of Asia" at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) from now until March 3, with the official opening ceremony being held today.
The photo exhibition aims to increase awareness of the nature and wildlife of the beautiful and significant landscape of Dawna Tenasserim, along the Thailand-Myanmar border. The area is home to fertile forests that are sources for major rivers and watershed systems, as well as the habitat of endangered wildlife such as tigers and elephants. Various ethnic groups from Thailand and Myanmar live in the area.
The exhibition showcases breathtaking scenery through aerial photographs, multimedia, videos and infographics. It emphasises the beauty of the landscape and how it houses perfect ecosystems with clean water, air and fertile soils for humans and wildlife. However, it also highlights how the natural environment is being threatened by land developments such as road and dam construction, destroying the balance between nature and wildlife.
