‘Dein Spiegel’ says that Maya Bay in Thailand temporarily has become a place illegal to visit. Tourists just destroyed too much of the coral reefs there. So the government decided to give this place some time to discover while scientists will tend to the injured corals – and yes, these corals are living beings that can get hurt and then need special treatment to recover.

The German informative TV-show “TopWelt” says that in a park in Bangkok (Thailand) a turtle of only 25 years died due to eating coins. In this area superstitious people believe that throwing coins into a pond will bring you luck. They probably didn’t know about the animals of this pond eating these coins.
When the animal was finally brought to a vet, not even surgery could save the turtle. The female died due to infectious internal wounds and during her last days she could barely swim.

Today in church I got a leaflet informing people about the situation of refugees who flee from Myanmar to Thailand. It says that even though many of the refugees who currently are in Thailand were born there to parents from Myanmar – who fled from human rights violations and military acts against ethnic minorities – and in some cases even have a job, they now risk getting sent back to where their parents come from. In fact even now they receive no support from the Thai ministry and have to either fend for themselves with their jobs as farmers, mushroom-breeders, soap-makers or noodle-bakers or get support from aid-organisations.

This month’s sample of the German newspaper “DeinSpiegel” says that in Thailand where some Asian fighting sports are quite popular it has become rather common for poor families to send their sons as young as 10 years into ferocious public fights. Often these children hurt themselves there, but their families need the money.
I heard there are people who’d care more about animals than about human beings. They too should be upset about these fights. There it is thought to bring luck if you throw a coin into a pond where a turtle is housing. Alas these turtles mistake coins for food and suffocate after swallowing them – which most people in Thailand of course don’t know.

Re-upload: “http://www.thaichildrenstrust.org.uk/donate” and ””http://www.practicalaction.org.uk/?id=children_biolatrines” are websites that educate the children of this still developing country. You know this theory of mine: If they receive better education, they’ll be able to treat nature better. Someone who is poor, because he didn’t receive the necessary education, may not be allowed to choose a job other than deforestation or illegal trade with this forest’s plants and animals.
Other than that I can only recommend you the organisation “Rainforest Conservation Fund”.
Please feel free to read about them on “http://www.rainforestconservation.org/rainforest-primer/4-case-studies-in-tropical-deforestation/c-south-and-southeast-asia/2-thailand”.
