Eight tigers released into the wild by 2022 ?

[geovalin]

The government is working in conjunction with the World Wildlife Fund on a plan to release eight tigers into the wild in Mondulkiri province by 2022. WWF-Cambodia communication manager Un Chakrey said yesterday that they are working with the ministries of environment, agriculture and tourism, among other organisations.

 

“Before the project starts, we have to ensure we are ready for everything,” he said. “That means that we will have proper law enforcement, enough rangers for managing the wild animals in the jungle, and no more illegal hunting or illegal trapping, or illegal logging.”

 

Mr Chakrey said six of the tigers will be female and two will be male, with hopes that they will reproduce to help buttress the endangered population. Mr Chakrey added that they planned to release the tigers in the Srepok Wildlife Sanctuary.
