Bueng Kan Province is experiencing issues with wild elephants around the Phu Wua Wildlife Sanctuary. The risk area covers 4 districts, 9 sub-districts, and 32 villages. Most damage occurs in the Tham Phra Forest Unit and Cha Nan Forest Unit between September and February. The most damaged agricultural crops are rice, followed by rubber, bananas, mangoes, and pineapples. Most property damage involves residential structures. A map showing the distribution and intensity of wild elephant land use across all seasons and by month has been prepared for use in management. Relevant agencies use methods to monitor wild elephant populations and migration, with volunteer elephant watchers and village safety teams (Chor Bor) assisting in monitoring. Additionally, public awareness is raised regarding wild elephant behavior to reduce conflicts and prevent harm to elephants. When incidents occur, communities use the community warning system to alert relevant agencies to take action and drive wild elephants back into the forest reserve as quickly as possible. The incident command structure is divided into 3 levels: provincial center, district, and local administrative organization. After incidents, measures to restore damaged agricultural areas are implemented, with assistance to victims prioritized using local administrative organization budgets. These measures focus on integrating plans and resource management to address wild elephant disturbances to the public quickly and systematically.
