Second Workshop for Spiritual Leaders on Reducing Demand for Wildlife Products

The workshop, held in Phitsanulok province on March 13, 2021, was a collaboration between the International Network of Engaged Buddhists (INEB), USAID Wildlife Asia, the Sekhiyadhamma network, and the Bodhiyalaya Foundation, with resource persons from WildAid Thailand and the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP). This was the second event to bring together Buddhist spiritual leaders to learn about how monks and nuns can be key influencers in Thailand’s national effort to end the killing of animals and using wildlife products (skin, teeth, ivory, meat, etc.) in the belief that these products bring good luck and protection.
