13 March Thai Elephant Day

March 13 "Thai Elephant Day"

Because the Subcommittee on the Coordination of the Conservation of Thai Elephants, together with the Committee on National Identity, the Prime Minister's Secretariat, foresaw the importance of the conservation of elephants, presented a resolution to the Congress on May 26, 1998. The Council of Ministers later agreed that March 13 of each year be Thai Elephant Day and announced the Prime Minister's Office on May 29, 1998 in the Gazette on June 18, 1998.

In addition to the importance of Thai elephants to their culture, elephants are also important to the forest ecosystems in Thailand. Elephants are large animals that provide shade for other Umbrella species that live in the same area. Because of the foraging behavior of elephants that walk for a long distance, they help bring the seeds that elephants eat to a place away from the mother tree. The path that elephants walk through will provide a way for other animals to walk their livelihoods. At the same time, the branches that elephants lean on during their livelihoods will provide food for small animals that cannot reach high livelihoods. Elephant manure is also fertilizer for plants and a source of food and food. It is important for many wild insects.
