'Extinct' deer caught on camera in Kratie
Great news! How long they will manage to survive is another question.
Hello, deer

Four endangered hog deer, once thought to be extinct in Cambodia, were caught on camera in Kratie province for the first time in a decade, according to the World Wildlife Fund. The nocturnal deer triggered a camera trap in the Mekong Flooded Forest set by WWF-Cambodia on Sunday night and in the early hours of yesterday morning. In a statement, WWF-Cambodia said researchers also found evidence of young hog deer hoofprints, inspiring hope of a population increase.
The hog deer species was believed to be extinct in Cambodia until 2006, when it was rediscovered in Kratie. However, they have not been seen again until now. ‘This is fabulous news, and it clearly reflects the hard work of community members . . . these sightings are encouraging and inspiring,’ said WWF-Cambodia Country Director Seng Teak.
‘However, hunting pressure remains a challenge and we must eliminate it.’ Hog deer are listed as ‘endangered’ on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of threatened species.

I have seen them myself. Don't think they are quite as rare as the article makes out.

Where did you see that? They are all but gone in SE Asia and even the people studying them in Cambodia haven't seen one in 10+ years.

- Deputy Director of Wildlife Conservation and Protection, Mr. Sok Kou, said on 14 September 2017, that according to data obtained from professional techniques, they estimate some 20 to 30 deer are living in the forest behind the Chum Banteay commune and Vaak commune, Prek Pras district, Kratie.
The deer were captured by an automated camera embedded in the trees, and footprints were sighted in the surrounding area. They have been seen by locals in the protected forest area and along the mouth of the two nearby streams.

Highly questionable if there's enough genetic diversity to recover.

Bag limit reached. Season’s over. Time for steaks and jerky for the next few months or more. And of course the mounted head over the mantle.xxxxxxx wrote:
