An island community in Thailand works to protect and revive its dugongs

The dugong population around Thailand's Koh Libong is in serious decline due to the degradation of its once-abundant seagrass meadows, which have turned into barren sands. This loss of habitat threatens not only the dugongs but also the entire ecosystem that relies on these meadows. Local communities are now stepping up efforts to restore the seagrass, highlighting the importance of these habitats for both wildlife and human livelihoods. Protecting these meadows is crucial for reviving the dugong population and maintaining the ecological balance.
