What are the potential long-term consequences of the border conflict on Thailand's political stability and democratic trajectory?

Thailand's future political landscape remains uncertain. A potential ban on Paetongtarn Shinawatra from politics and the imprisonment of her father, Thaksin, could further strengthen the military's hand and potentially lead to the return of former junta leader Prayuth Chan-ocha. Public trust in the military, as revealed by recent polls, exacerbates this instability.

What are the main factors contributing to the decline of Mekong River megafish, and how do these factors interact?

Overfishing targeting large, fertile fish is the primary cause of this decline. Large fish produce exponentially more eggs, and their reduced numbers create a 'death spiral' where populations persist but can't reproduce sustainably. This mirrors similar collapses in other fisheries, such as Atlantic cod.
