webfact Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 WWF calls on Thailand to protect its wild tiger populationBANGKOK, June 21 2016 (NNT) - Thailand has been cited by the World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) as home to one of the five most fertile habitats for tigers. The non-governmental organization has called for understanding from all sectors to effectively restore the tiger population.WWF Thailand revealed that since 1970, the world’s tiger population had been reduced from 35,000 to approximately 3,200, due to poaching and deforestation. According to a survey by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), 250-300 tigers remain in Thai forests, while 2,226 tigers remain in India and 433 in Russia.Due to conservation and repopulation efforts in 2010, the tiger population has slowly increased. The WWF has urged Thailand to conserve its tiger population, as the apex predator plays a significant role in the ecosystem and managing prey populations. -- NNT 2016-06-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 To conserve the tiger population, but hopefully not through sham breeding centres, by criminals, like those we've been exposed to on these pages recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangebrew Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Well it was reported that 90% of the tiger breeding operations are corrupt so Makes sense to close down all of them arrest the operators place in protective custody, then investigate them then let the government take over all of them with international monitoring put in place.

ddavidovsky Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 News of funding and a program of practical assistance from the WWF would be more useful. Anyone can sit there urging people to do this or that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it makes sense but 99.9999% of Thais lack common sense so this won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
