Nok Ngaek returns to Koh Samet
Sightings of rare birds spark hope for island ecology, reports Piyaporn Wongruang
Sightings of nok ngaek, or the Oriental pied hornbill, on Koh Samet have triggered excitement as well as hope that locals will attach more importance to preserving the island's ecology, now under threat from mainstream tourism.
Park officials and locals asked Pilai Poonswad, a noted microbiologist who has conducted intensive studies on the hornbills, to visit the island and give recommendations on how best to handle the birds. Preserving them could also mean preserving the island.
