Thailand first country in Southeast Asia to increase its wild tiger population

Today is Global Tiger Day and this year is one for the history books. The Royal Thai Government has announced that the country’s national wild tiger population is increasing. Decades of poaching and forest loss had caused Thailand’s wild tiger population to decrease, but after years of concerted conservation efforts wild tiger populations have been stable for a number of years at 148-189. The latest population estimate, released by the Royal Thai Government, is between 179-223.
