TIGER CUBS SPOTTED ROAMING THAILAND’S FORESTS

A tigress and three cubs have been recorded on camera traps set up to monitor wildlife in Thailand’s Dawna Tenasserim Landscape. 

Now these three tiger cubs have a great chance of survival in the wild after decades of tiger conservation efforts have improved habitat, increased the availability of prey and reduced the threat of poaching across the country. 

Last year Thailand announced its tiger population is increasing, after years of a stable population, indicating tiger conservation efforts are working. This achievement made Thailand the first country in Southeast Asia to increase its tiger population. WWF hopes this success will inspire other governments in the region to invest in their tiger recovery efforts.

This is a critical time for tigers in Thailand. Prey populations are generally low across the country due to historic poaching, but efforts to increase prey numbers, such as Sambar deer, are underway. There’s also a growing opportunity for tiger range expansion across the country as tigers are moving to places they have been lost from. 

Continued political support, strong community partnerships, funding, and conservation efforts are needed to ensure these small cubs have the conditions they need to thrive. Now is the time for action.

There are less than 5,600 wild tigers left in the world. Endangered tigers need you. Join the people fighting for MORE ROAR – your gift could support vital tiger conservation work to help them survive.
