Tigers declared extinct in Cambodia, but...
... there is a plan to reintroduce them into Mondulkiri forests.
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/ ... n-cambodia
Tigers are “functionally extinct” in Cambodia, conservationists conceded for the first time on Wednesday, as they launched a bold action plan to reintroduce the big cats to the kingdom’s forests.
Cambodia’s dry forests used to be home to scores of Indochinese tigers but the WWF said intensive poaching of both tigers and their prey had devastated the numbers of the big cats.
The last tiger was seen on camera trap in the eastern Mondulkiri province in 2007, it said.
“Today, there are no longer any breeding populations of tigers left in Cambodia, and they are therefore considered functionally extinct,” the conservation group said in a statement.
In an effort to revive the population, the Cambodian government last month approved a plan to reintroduce the creatures into the Mondulkiri protected forest in the far of east the country...

Re: Tigers declared extinct in Cambodia, but...
Good idea,
Inevitably, although without proper control and monitoring, unfortunately one would think it will just have the effect of resurrecting the poaching trade again.....
Even so, Is there even enough suitable prey for the tigers in order to sustain what would be considered a 'normal' population?

The poachers are preparing their snares as we speak.

My thoughts as well. The government see some lucrative business paid for by more foreigners.gavinbrisbane wrote:Good idea,

For example. the wild life conserve that was set up near Kampot a few years ago supplies a certain Khmer restaurant with exotic wild game.
The only real predators needed are probably people, Asian people as they seem to eat everything but cheese. They hand that out a lot though..

Plus it's a scientific fact that if you boil tiger penis in water along with some rhinocerous horn and bear bile into a tea and drink it, you gain super sexual powers!gavinbrisbane wrote:Funny that, I heard about that 'restaurant' actually!

Re: Tigers declared extinct in Cambodia, but...
Idiocy. Big game disappeared before the tigers did. The forests from 2007 were very different from now. I'd argue (uneducated guess based on my travels) that the forests have shrunk by a good 25-40% since then. If they couldn't sustain them then, how can they sustain them now? Half of Mondilkiri is now rubber plantations anyways...
