Khao Yai is internationally important for the conservation of threatened and endangered mammals, birds and reptiles.  It includes the last substantial area of tropical forest ecosystems in the Thailandian Monsoon Forest. This provides viable habitats for the long-term survival of endangered species such as tigers, elephants, leopards, bantengs, greater adjutants and the migratory spotbilled pelican. No other protected area within the biogeographical region has so long and well marked a continuous topographic, climatic and vegetation gradient. It contains all the major rainforest habitat types of eastern Thailand and some of the region’s largest remaining populations of many tropical forest species, which are coming under pressure elsewhere.
