There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

If anything, collaring tigers in non-tourism zones or in Indonesia would have more scientific value, as they are difficult to track, and thus, there dispersal behavior isn't well understood.
Extremely suspect, while I see some benefits of collaring tigers in less treked areas, I don't think those benefits out weigh the tigers health. We don't need collars to tell us that tigers need unmolested forrest areas to be protected. Its a simply matter of location, we know where tigers exist, if we fence their areas, destroy their habitat and invade beyond our means, conflict will exist.
