Thailand’s rich freshwater biodiversity under threat
The Thai government has taken efforts to tackle climate change by building a large number of water retention projects. But they could threaten the country’s freshwater biodiversity unless new sustainable solutions are taken into consideration.
In a remote forest in Thailand’s western Ratchaburi province, a team of Thai scientists have discovered a species that was thought to have disappeared in 1935 ― loaches, or freshwater fish, known by their scientific name of Schistura myrmekia.
