About me / Bio:
Boonsong Lekagul, born on December 15, 1907, was a Thai medical doctor, biologist, ornithologist, herpetologist, and a pioneering conservationist. He received his medical degree from Chulalongkorn University in 1933 and established Thailand's first polyclinic in Bangkok in 1935. Initially a hunter, his perspective shifted as he witnessed the destruction of Thailand's forests and wildlife. In response, he founded the Association for the Conservation of Wildlife in 1952 and the Bangkok Bird Club in 1962, which is now the Bird Conservation Society of Thailand. His efforts led to the creation of a bird sanctuary on the banks of the Chao Phraya River to protect the openbill stork's nesting site. Lekagul's dedication to conservation was recognized globally, earning him several awards and honors. He authored numerous publications on Thailand's natural heritage, including guides on birds, butterflies, and mammals. His legacy continues to inspire conservation efforts in Thailand. Boonsong Lekagul passed away on February 9, 1992, leaving behind a profound impact on wildlife preservation.
