Thailand fired conservationist Scott after behavior complaints
Marine conservationist Siranudh "Psi" Scott was dismissed from his advisory role with the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) following allegations of inappropriate behavior. This decision came after a series of public clashes. The dismissal followed complaints regarding Scott's conduct, including unauthorized use of park resources and content creation deemed detrimental to the DNP's reputation. Scott, known as "Merman," had previously gained recognition for his conservation efforts and social media presence. Scott's dismissal sparked controversy, with some supporting his conservation work and others criticizing his actions. The DNP cited his focus on social media and failure to adhere to protocols as reasons for his removal.
