NST WILDLIFE CORRIDOR

INSTRUCTOR: CHON SUPAWONGSE

LOCATION: NSTR, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand

TYPE: Landscape Infrastructure Landscape Ecology

Thailand is experiencing the destruction and degradation of natural habitat, widespread across the nation, where humankind is responsible for an “EPISODE OF SPECIES’ DECLINE”. According to Bennett (2013), despite endowing one of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the World. During the past several decades, wildlife habitat in Thailand has been declining and fragmented into “Remnants of Natural Environment” or completely defunct

These processes, as mentioned above, affect wildlife mortality from losing their MOTHERLAND or facing local extinction and have either migrate to the remaining core habitat or defunct. This effect results in increasing resources demand to sustain the wildlife population leading to the high competition over resources, which increases STRESS and INBREEDING IN POPULATION. Also, the increase of PERIMETER TO AREA RATIO OR EDGE EFFECT which increases the exposure to humans leading to more confrontation and competition with a human for more resources and dwelling. If the trend of fragmentation is continuing, we will face another episode of mass extinction sooner than we expected.

My objective in this project is to connect Khao Luang and Khao Ban-that forest complexes together as ONE NAKHON SI THAMMARAT MOUNTAIN RANGE to enhance THE LANDSCAPE CONNECTIVITIES OF FOREST PATCHES. In order to promote THE LIFE EXPECTANCY of wildlife by starting to connect from Nam Tok Yong National Park to Khao Pu- Khao Ya National Park using Wildlife Corridor and this is the current latest dimension of LANDSCAPE INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN that is not merely designed to serve the urban need but other capacities in ECOLOGY DIMENSION.

In this map, the landscape greenery does not serve the ecology function as a wildlife hospitable habitat because it is not to be as green and abundant as we thought, instead, it is the “Green Desert” of “mono-cropping plantation”. The Para-Rubber plantation occupied the majority of the total agriculture space, followed by the oilpalm plantation. However, both of them are facing the significant decline of the market prices and may soon be replaced by the trends of Thai coffee to the World and may result in the conversion of the agriculture area into the coffee plantation to satisfy the increasing demand.

Especially in The Southern Peninsula of Thailand, where the mosaic of the large and small patches are only preserved as the protected area from the Nation’s conservation acts. However, these existing core habitats are presently invaded and developed into productive land-use for human economic and urbanization development.

Nakhon Si Thammarat Mountain Range is one of the most important BIODIVERSITY hotspots in the region with North to South alignment providing the safe passage for wildlife to migrate from the CLIMATE change to the different latitude in order to find a suitable habitat environment within the protected area along its path.

However, Nakhon Si Thammarat Mountain Range is fragmented and isolated into 2 forest complexes- Northern Nakhon Si Thammarat Mountain Range (Khao Luang forest complex), and Southern Nakhon Si Thammarat Mountain Range (Khao Ban That Forest Complex).

In this studio, we use weight-overlay analysis based on the ESRI Srandard to study the different bands of landscape, and ecology functions to explore the potential wildlife suitable trail and habitat based on habitat suitability models for wildlife animals.

Especially, elephant as a Keystone and Umbrella species where conserving ELEPHANT is also conserving other species because it has a high capacity of regrowing and maintaining the forest environment with the large home range of 400 square kilometers. It also initiates the wildlife trail by clearing the path of the dense forest allowing other species to follow and thrive.

The Tiger is the key measurement in this project because their population indicates the habitat abundance. And, being as the KEYSTONE TOP PREDATOR with the high rate of consumption and large home range. They are responsible for controlling other species’ populations to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.

WEIGHTED OVERLAY MAP

Weighted maps from these 3 criteria to define SUITABLE AND HOSPITABLE core habitat in the site by extracting the area with a score from 7-10 to create SUITABLE HABITAT PATCH, where the selecting score range is based on The AMPLITUDE OF TOLERANCE FROM HUMAN ACTIVITY diagram before analysis with COST DISTANCE and COST BACKLINK for establishing LEAST COST PATH or TRAIL LINE.

The results are this comprehensive map defining the potential corridors and habitat consists of 6 potential corridors from 1A to 5 and 5 potential habitat patches from A to E. The Corridor 1A is selected to be the NODE of a starting point as it proves the potential compared to Corridor 1B, which consists of denser obstacles from urbanization and curved road. The rest of the four corridors have also shared the similarity in the bands of landscape typology except RAILWAY AND HIGH VOLTAGE POWER GRID LINE.

After we get the corridor, the typical section is needed to understand the different bands of the landscape configuration and how the wildlife uses the landscape and we use Corridor 1A as the example starting with Para Rubber Plantation That should not grow in this type of landscape as mono-cropping because it degrades the abundance of the ecosystem, and is responsible for the cause of soil-erosion. As well as high contamination of pesticides, other chemicals, and potentially becoming the disease spreading hotspot affects wildlife mortality and inhospitable for wildlife habitat. According to the research on the topic of The impact of rubber plantations on the diversity and activity of understorey insectivorous bats in Khao Ban That by Phansamai Phommexay, found that para-rubber plantation has lesser than 50% of biodiversity compared to surrounding forest environment and not found any VERTEBRATES

LARGER THAN 7KG. except rarely visited by the elephants. As well as the research In the other region, also reports in the same way.

CORRIDOR 1 PARA RUBBER PLANTATION

CORRIDOR 4 RAILWAY OVERPASS

CORRIDOR 2 STREAM

CORRIDOR 5 RAILWAY SIDE

CORRIDOR 3 SECONDARY ROAD

CORRIDOR 6 MAJOR HIGHWAY

CORRIDOR 7 HIGH-VOLTAGE GRID LINE

After we understand the landscape and its function, we start to design the wildlife corridor based on different typologies. Beginning with converting Para Rubber Plantation into TROPICAL AGROFORESTRY to restore the hospitable ecosystem for both human and wildlife needs.

The design is to provide a safe passage for a wide array of terrestrial and avian spcies on different levels and elevations. Where the avian is using the canopy and overstory trees line to cross this corridor. For the terrestrial specie will use the ground level on the landscape of Mixed Forest and Grassland to the salt lick at the core of the corridor.

THE KODCHALUCK WILDLIFE CORRIDOR

This corridor will be named as The KODCHALUCK (ช้างคชลักษณฺ ) to honor the royal elephants living in this region.The inspiration for this bridge is from my impression of the landscape of small streams during trekking in Khao Luang National Park and its aesthetic bringing back my childhood memories of Regency Advertising on the aesthetic of Thai Tropical Moist Montane Forest.

The KODCHALUCK bridge serves as the symbol of the Elephant as National’s animal and conservation. The landscape and defined trail formed into the elephant shape from every angle of view. And the top view is designed to let the elephant crossing the road facing the South directions to express the connection of the NST MT range corridor start here. With the elephant to be the umbrella species to open the corridor trail for the other species, and its characteristic of being large, strong, and be able to fight with all obstacles just like the conservation approach of Thailand.

CORRIDOR DESIGN

The bridge structure is designed to be curved along with the tree shape and to be as slim as possible. The column also acts as the tree growing guide and creates a large void in the center as a cave environment with mineral lick large enough to accommodate ELEPHANT passing through the corridor and support 2 lanes road with 1 parking lane integrated with low disturbance safety equipment. The bent trees that planted near the bridge column within the bridge shade, allowing them to grow on the designated sunlight path to reach the bridge platform level. The result will be the bent tree acting as the camouflage screen, as well as controlling the microclimate such as temperature, humidity, and brightness under the bridge.

And it helps reduce human appearance to animals while spotting and enjoying the scenic view of Nam Tok Yong National Park. The tree canopy’s negative space allows us to see through them to the lower ground and spotting animals, as well as reducing noise pollution from transportation and limiting the crowded space on the bridge.

RESEARCHER & OFFICER’S OBSERVATION ROOM

The facility is used to observe wildlife activities when they are using the corridor. The researcher can take the opportunities to collect the sample and experiment for research and conservation purpose The rock-cut design of the space features battened one-way glass windows to allow the researcher to spot the wildlife and blend with the environment to observe in the close-up distance.

The mezzanine design is for observation and experimental garden to provide higher elevation view allowing the researcher to observe with the different perspective view And When certain specific conditions are met, there are chances for rare species to grow in this corridor.

The railway overpass in its existing condition serves as the attraction spot and the train shortcut through the mountain. We need to preserve the existing forest as well as adapting the vernacular FLYINGSHEET architecture to provide safety for humans and wildlife to serve as an animal corridor with human recreation.

Also can be used as a scenic campground feature with the FLYINGSHEETTo allow humans to witness the GREATNESS AND AESTHETIC OF NATURE on the safe vertical distance and use the architecture to camouflage and blend with nature, to reduce wildlife stress. On the railway side, we also apply the same design principles connecting from the Overpass corridor. Where it serves a similar function but different feeling. Because we can observe the Dynamic and Aesthetic of Landscape from the train. It will be super cool if we spot bands of animals along the path.

BRIDGE LEVEL

The corridor design reduce human appearance to animals while spotting and enjoying the scenic view of Nam Tok Yong National Park. The tree canopy’s negative space allows us to see through them to the lower ground and spotting animals, as well as reducing noise pollution from transportation and limiting the crowded space on the bridge.

CORRIDOR 4 & 5

ATMOSPHERIC ILLUSTRATION OF THE KODCHALUCK WILDLIFE CORRIDOR The design principle can be adopted in other corridors through the region to regain suitable habitat and enlarge them to create an INTERDEPENDENT point between wildlife and humans. And this project will be the last piece of the puzzle that was placed back on the map canvas and reunited NST MT RANGE as...ONE.
