Episode overview
Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Umphang Sanctuary, the largest in Thailand, is an outstanding biodiversity refuge in Asia. Its high-altitude rainforest is home to wild elephants, tigers and bears, deer and buffalo, monkeys and squirrels, as well as birds of all kinds, such as hornbills and Asian peacocks. Thanks to a dense network of rivers and the country's largest waterfalls, this unique ecosystem manages to survive the six-month dry season. The vegetation and the fruit trees thus offer, all year long, an abundant food to the various animal species.
