ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION OF GORAL OUTSIDE PROTECTED AREAS BY COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACH IN THAILAND

摘要

Gorals use their specific habitat in the high mountains and steep cliffs for grazing, resting, mating and escape. With the exception of Mae Ping National Park, where goral were found at a beach (i.e.,Haad Pha Lhek), all habitats of goral are in the steep mountains and cliffs in the upper north of Thailand. The population of gorals at Haad Pha Lhek may be the result of flooding in the area by the construction of the Bhumibol dam in the early 1960s, so some mountain areas became beaches.
