Finally Tigers are officially declared extinct from the jungles of Cambodia. The last Tiger was seen in the Eastern Mondulkiri province in 2007 on camera trap.
Cambodia's dry forest used to be home to scores of Indochinese tiger but the WWF said intensive poaching of both the tigers and its prey had devastated the numbers of tigers. Today there are no longer any breeding populations of tigers left in Cambodia,and they are therefore considered functionally extinct.
In effort to revive the population of tiger the government of Cambodia approved a plan to reintroduced this magnificent creature into the Mondulkiri protected forest in the far of east the country. The plan will see a chunk of suitable habitat carved out and protected against poachers by strong law enforcement.
To execute this huge project two male and six female tigers needed for start. The government needs $20 to $50 for the project.
