Conservation Success: Mother Tiger and Cubs Spotted After Almost a Decade in Western Thailand
Since conservation science started in earnest, this decade has seen some of the best news about tiger conservation. The first sighting of a mother tiger and her two cubs in almost a decade occurred in Western Thailand, and this sighting has to be considered a highlight. - For all those who love wildlife this is a good sign! Over the past century, threats to tigers, including habitat degradation and unauthorized poaching, have significantly decreased. Asia, which once hosted 100,000 wild tigers, has seen a decline in these perilous challenges. One of the Indochinese tiger's (Panthera tigris corbetti) final strongholds in Southeast Asia is now Thailand. The Western Forest Complex (WEFCOM) of the nation is crucial to worldwide conservation efforts and is home to the biggest lone population of tigers left for this subspecies. While tigers have gotten a lot of interest in this area overall, WEFCOM's Khao Laem National Park (KLNP) has got less attention. According to preliminary data, Khao Laem National Park is crucial for serving as a wildlife corridor and for providing habitat for a resident tiger population. A sigh of Hope : The fact that the mother and her cubs were spotted in the Salak Phra Wildlife Sanctuary, which is a part of the 2,400 square mile Western Forest Complex of Thungyai–Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuaries, is evidence that Thailand's conservation efforts are having a positive impact. Not only are tigers breeding outside of core areas, but this also implies that there must be enough large game, such as sambar deer, to feed them. "Tiger is a symbol of beauty, bravery, strength, and Nationality so save the Tiger. save the Nation Pride." - Uzma
