Thanakrit Wongsatit, KVIS Cohort 2

When land preparation and construction work began at KVIS in 2014 many birds disappeared: but for only a short time. Most of the existing trees were left in place so that when the frightening sounds of construction machines disappeared and the lake was filled with water the natural habitat had been improved. Former birds returned, and new species come to share the campus with staff and students. 

Thanakrit Wongsatit, KVIS Cohort 2, has been collecting data on "Birds at KVIS" since May 2016.
