Animals saved from forest fires treated at a clinic in Chiang Mai

14 Sept 07:59 Key points summarised by AI

Twenty wild animals, including civets, hawks, and gibbons, were rescued from devastating forest fires in Thailand's northern province of Chiang Mai.
The rescued animals are currently undergoing care at an animal clinic operated by the Office of Conservation and will be released back into the wild once the fires are controlled.
The fires are largely attributed to illegal hunting, land clearing, and severe drought conditions, which have also led to critical levels of air pollution (PM2.5) posing health threats to residents.
Hundreds of firefighters, volunteers, and local villagers are actively battling the widespread blazes, with some individuals tragically losing their lives in the efforts.
