» The legendary forest conservationist Seub Nakhasathien was known for his unstinting efforts to save and protect wildlife in Huay Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, which was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) in 1991 and is spread over Kanchanaburi, Tak and Uthai Thani provinces. His suicide from stress over failing to save wild animals 22 years ago shocked Thailand, but his good name and crusade remain in the hearts of many today.
