The Java Tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica)

[phatio]

Thanks for your support, Sanjay. 
About camera trap, We already did that. The authority and wildlife officials have installed 5 camera traps in Meru Betiri National Park back (1997 and 2011/2012) and 15 more in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (2014) but so far failed to photograph a single tiger. 
The good news is they found other rare animals still roaming in there such as javanese yellow-necked weasel, Javan Leopard and other endemic animals.

Last January they added 10 more Camera trap in BTS NP to increase the chances of capturing wild animals.

yes i agree with you Sanjay, although small, there is definitely chances for Javan tigers coming back from extiction. 
I can only imagine if only large organisation such as Panthera and WWF support us with camera trap and  thermal imaging camera just like they use in Bhutan (lost land of the tiger), then together we create an expedition teams to find the extinct tiger, and then finally we can catch one, it would be mind blowing don't you think. 
Because the evidence is real, from droppings and paw prints to claw marks on trees, suggests that the striped cats are still exist somewhere deep beneath the remote Javan jungle.
