The World Wide Fund for Nature in Cambodia has urged the government to crack down on wildlife trapping, trafficking and illegal logging to conserve wildlife and natural resources. Tigers especially had been seriously threatened by hunting and trapping.

 

WWF-Cambodia country director Seng Teak marked Tiger Preservation and Protection Day at Sen Sok city on Saturday. Mr Teak said the number of tigers in the world was estimated to be 3,900 in 2016, a slight rise on 2010 when there were 3200. However, the figure has decreased by 95 percent comparing with the number in the early twentieth century, when there were about 100,000.
