Bangkok, July 21, 2025 – The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, working with Charoen Pokphand Group and its subsidiaries, is continuing its environmental conservation initiative through the 32nd annual "Wildlife and Forest" photography competition. The project invites professional photographers, amateur enthusiasts, youth, students, and nature lovers across Thailand to submit conservation-focused photographs, creating opportunities for society to experience the beauty of Thailand's ecosystems, forests, and wildlife while spreading awareness and fostering a collective commitment to protecting natural resources for the future.
This year's competition offers prestigious awards including royal patronage trophies and cash prizes exceeding 850,000 baht.
