Summary

  • First cub sighting in 10 years: Camera captures a mother tiger with two cubs in Thailand, a major boost for the species.
  • Population boom: Tiger numbers skyrocket, from 46 in 2007 to potentially 190 now, making Thailand the only Southeast Asian country with significant growth.
  • Conservation works: Thailand’s efforts, like anti-poaching measures and reduced human activity, are paying off. The country can now even become a source of tigers for struggling neighbours.
  • Hope for the future: With a thriving population and suitable habitat, tigers seem set to flourish in Thailand’s western rainforests.

Comments

However good this is, I personally wouldn’t want to run into one of these in the wild.
