Whatever you wrote has not been censored here I am sure. Maybe a network problem?

Maybe admin is anti-tiger and can't stomach any pro-tiger sentiments.

Wow! Things are getting bad when even posts about tigers are endangered. NGO idea...do you realise CEO posters in Cambodia live on less than $2/day?

Some experts don't seem very optimistic about the plan to reintroduce the tigers:
Based on his research in Eastern Cambodia, Indian tiger expert Dr. Karanth called the plan of Cambodia’s Agriculture Ministry “bereft” of any understanding of ecology or Cambodian social context. He also expressed concern that the plan was going to be resented in local communities. “It will lead to tragic failure, for which the introduced tigers will pay with their lives,” he said...
If I was a cynical person, I would say that the MOA is eying up the $20-50m, which will be non-refundable if the project fails. Sounds like the refugee introduction from Nauru, except that the tigers won't get to go home.
The grand plan of the Ministry of Agriculture in cooperation with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) eyes the release of eight big cats to Eastern Cambodia, where they have been declared “functionally extinct”. The animals would roam the Mondulkiri Protected Forest, which runs along Vietnamese border. It will cost between US$20 million to US$50 million dollars to run the project...

Proper habitat for the tiger, enough forests and prey, and preferably no interaction with people, make up only one set of challenges. The plan to reintroduce tiger to Eastern Cambodia also overlaps with other development projects. Government plans to build a road directly through Mondulkiri forest to the border with Vietnam.
Conservationists have criticized this plan altogether and it is difficult to imagine how far-roaming tigers will co-exist with a road...

Just comes to show how many ministries are filled with people who have little to no expertise within their field and very little knowledge if the outside world. In this case, the intentions are good, but the plans they come up with are hilarious at times and downright outrageous at others. You'd think a 5-year-old would realize that this isn't a viable solution when rampant deforestation and wildlife poaching is still going on at an industrial scale. It's like trying to fix hemorrhaging by giving someone a nose job.

It might take more than Tiger beer to save Cambodia's tigers.

Tigers to be reintroduced to the wild
15 June 2017
Tiger Beer has donated $1 million to the World Wildlife Fund to help fight the illegal tiger trade in a scheme that will see tigers reintroduced to the Eastern Plains Landscape.
The money will go toward protecting tigers in Cambodia and 12 other countries where tiger populations have dropped by more than 96 percent in the last century.
There are now as few as 3,890 wild tigers left worldwide.

The 3890Tigers campaign is part of a six-year global partnership between Tiger Beer and WWF in support of Tx2, a commitment by the governments of 13 countries to double the world’s wild tiger population by 2022.

As one of the 13 target countries, Cambodia has committed to doubling its population by reintroducing wild tigers to the Eastern Plains Landscape, which includes Mondulkiri Protected Forest and Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary.
According to WWF, the area forms part of the tiger landscape with the highest potential for recovery in Asia, due to its largely intact dry forest habitat.

Chhith Sam Ath, country director of WWF Cambodia, said tigers are part of the national heritage.
“To bring tigers back to Cambodia would be the biggest conservation feat of its kind and would support the conservation efforts of the whole landscape,” he said.

He added that challenges including poaching, snaring, illegal logging, mining and other unsustainable development needed to be overcome to make the Eastern Plains Landscape a world-class protected area before releasing tigers into the wild.

Under the campaign, the beer brand will remove the tiger from its logo and introduce a limited-edition design on select packaging without the tiger for the first time in 84 years, symbolising the threat of wild tigers disappearing...
