Till now, there is no strict enforcement in place in these countries, and high ranking officials are often bribed to allow for poaching. Cambodia used to have about 400 tigers, but only in five years between 1998 -2003, more than 200 tigers have been poached, for the value of a dead tiger is too high, and the people in tiger regions are so poor, they have to resort to poaching to feed their families, to say nothing about organized poaching teams. In Laos, the very same situation occurs, with hardly any tiger has been observed in the wild for many years. According to Professor Vo Quy, leading VietNam wildlife conservationist of the National university, there are only about 10 - 15 Indochinese tigers in VietNam, occurring in scattered forests, meaning they are isolated and so, doomed to extinct unless some serious conservation project is carried out to protect the remmant tigers and extend its habitat, which is heavily and gradually destroyed to give land for agricultural fields.
No tiger has ever been seen in the wild since then, nor can their track be found. Face it: the census says there are roughly 200 tigers in Vietnam, but in Vietnam, the last sighting of tiger was about 15 years ago, in early 1990s. According to outdated Census, their “current” number is 1200 -1800, which is none but a bitter joke. Tiger is endangered in general, and the Indochinese tiger is critically endangered. If there is anything else to add, please tell me.Ĭhina's Tiger 04:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC) Paper tigers - pathetic census Can anyone please help and post information regarding tigers as man-eaters?Ĭhina's Tiger 04:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)hahahaĪll right, i just completed the Man-eating section by myself.
