At The Bush Camp Chiang Mai, we believe that responsible tourism and conservation must go hand in hand. Guided by this belief, our Wildlife Monitoring Project continues to explore and better understand the natural ecosystems that surround us.

Through our collaboration with Mae Ping National Park, we have been able to deploy camera traps deep within this protected forest under official permission and close supervision from park authorities.

Three months after installation, our cameras have quietly recorded the hidden lives of wildlife in their natural habitat. Among the most remarkable observations are wild elephants, wild boars, and Eld’s Deer moving freely through the forest.

These findings reflect the richness and health of the ecosystem, and they reinforce our commitment at The Bush Camp Chiang Mai to long-term conservation, research, and coexistence between humans and wildlife.

Each recording adds valuable insight into wildlife behavior and helps us better understand how these ecosystems function as a whole.

We are proud to share these early results and remain dedicated to continuing this journey of discovery and conservation.
