Yongyut Nakwiroj Appointed as New Director-General of the Department of National Parks
Yongyut Nakwiroj has officially assumed the role of Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, focusing on forest protection and wildlife preservation.
According to a report by Matichon Online, Yongyut Nakwiroj has officially taken office as the new Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP). His appointment marks a transition in leadership for the agency responsible for managing Thailand’s extensive network of national parks and protected natural areas.
In his initial statements, Nakwiroj emphasized a strategic focus on strengthening measures against forest encroachment and enhancing the conservation of wildlife. For travelers and residents who frequently visit Thailand’s national parks, this leadership change may signal shifts in park management policies, potential updates to visitor regulations, or intensified efforts to protect natural habitats from human impact.
While the new Director-General has outlined his commitment to environmental protection, specific operational changes or new policies affecting tourism access and park fees remain to be confirmed. Visitors are encouraged to monitor official DNP announcements for any updates regarding park entry requirements or conservation-related restrictions that may be implemented under the new administration. The department continues to serve as the primary authority for the oversight of Thailand's natural heritage sites.
