Rise in tiger population

The Hindu , Saturday, February 20, 2016
Correspondent : IANS
The HuaiKhaKhaeng Wildlife Sanctuary in Thailand has become the only site in Southeast Asia where tigers are confirmed to be increasing in population, says a study. The Government of Thailand, in collaboration with Wildlife Conservation Society, established an intensive patrol system in the sanctuary in 2006 to curb poaching of tigers and their prey, and to recover what is possibly the largest remaining “source” population of wild tigers in mainland Southeast Asia. The protection effort is paying off.IANS
