Still Waters Posted April 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2016 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. http://news.discover...odia-160406.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeSember Posted April 6, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Truly sad. If they reintroduce more, will the poaching stop? Edited April 6, 2016 by DeeSember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodnite Posted April 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I blame Chinese medicine for the decline. Lots of tiger parts used for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of tiger parts used for that. i always wondered about that. they're okay with making sure the giant panda's don't go extinct, but not tigers? or am i thinking of someone else...?
