(Thailand, May 5) Thailand's Wildlife Conservation Office announced on May 4 that an endangered Malayan tiger was confirmed to have been spotted in Bang Lang National Park in southern Thailand. This marks another significant milestone in the country's wildlife conservation efforts.
According to reports from China News Service, the Malayan tiger, found in the southern Malay Peninsula regions of Malaysia and Thailand, is classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
The recent sighting of the Malayan tiger was captured by monitoring cameras installed by rangers in Bang Lang National Park. The park spans three districts in Yala Province: Bannang Sata, Than To, and Betong, and has been monitoring wildlife for a long time.
Charin Phommai, director of the Thai Wildlife Conservation Office, stated that this elusive predator has been spotted in the region for the second time, with the first confirmed sighting in 2023. The tiger spotted two years ago was identified as "Bang Lang 01."
Charin emphasized that the reappearance of the Malayan tiger indicates further improvement in the region's ecological environment.
Recent data shows that the Malayan tiger is one of the world's most endangered species. Poaching, habitat destruction, and human-wildlife conflicts have critically endangered its survival. In Malaysia, the wild Malayan tiger population has dropped to fewer than 150 individuals.
