Anyone knows situation of Cambodia? Dr. Kerely told me she worked tigers in Cambodia 10 years ago. I don't know about now. Cambodia had a crazy dictator back in the past around in 1970s who screwed everything about his country from genocide.

There are two different situations in Southeast Asia. Indochina has problems with poverty, and villagers are just setting snares in every forest. The only different country is Thailand.
Tigers survive in Thailand since Thailand is one of the best situation country in Indochina. Thailand walked completely different than other southeast Asia since the king at that time was wise. Thailand was also only country that never colonized by France and British (French and British are well known war criminals just like Germany, Japan and other colonial countries in Western Europe). They also over hunt every animals and caused conflicts in Southeast Asia after I study about these regions in the Indochina. Many southeast Asia welcomed Japan when Japan took control on Southeast Asia, but everyone who are educated already know what Japan did. Welcoming Japan was even worse just like Ukraine suffered worst disasters after welcoming German Nazis during the WW2 when Russia took every food. However, Japan behaved better to Thailand compared to other countries in southeast Asia (They did worse to China, Vietnam, Philippine, Myanmar, native people in Taiwan, Indonesia, Korea, Dutch in Indonesia, .etc). This is also why Thailand still has very good relations with Japan after the ww2. Toyota's income decreases whenever Thai has economy problems. Thailand is also one of the most stable country in southeast Asia along with Singapore since the cold war. Unfortunatly, Singapore is too small for large animals and humans to coexist. Thai is also strong buddhism country. They treated better to animals along with Hindu in India. Thai is also has some different culture from China (Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia has many similarity with China since they have many history together while Myanmar is more close to India. Thai seems between. Malaysia and Indonesia are different=influenced into Islam culture). Thai is also the same as Greece, Italy, and Spain = country that earning majority income from tourism. While other Indochinese countries are experiencing dictator, civil war, and many other problems thanks to British, French, and Japanese. Thai walked completely different path. It is obvious that Indochinese tigers and other endangered Southeast Asian animals are doing the best in Thailand today. The problem is Vietnamese poaching gang is keep moving to Thai and other southeast Asia. They are using Mekong River and other rivers as road to cross other southeast Asia, even Thailand.

Malaysia is the same as Thailand, but much more corruption. The problem is vietnamese again. Vietnamese poaching gangs are keep moving to Malaysia. The worst problem is the most media never speak about vietnam much as they are whining every problems on China. Vietnam and Chinese are the most barbaric of all. I really wish entire world ban vietnamese and chinese to never allow them to move other country. Along with poverty going on in villagers are obviously joining poaching gangs. This is all due to corruptions in Malaysian politics. There is one funny problem. Malaysia is very diverse country. The high income people are mostly Chinese and Indian descents in Malaysia since their parents are more into educations for their kids. The problem is most southeast Asia don't like China and Chinese descents in their countries. That is why Malaysia passed some laws to make more benefits to their native Malaysian years ago. However, majority native Malaysian is more into studying Islam religion rather than educations. And native Malaysian still has better chance to enter in politics. That's why problems can happen sometimes.

Indonesia seems a little different than Malaysia besides the same religion, corrupted politicians, and palm oil. When villagers hunt/poach animals like deer and boar. Then they sell to Chinese living in their countries. Indonesia still dislike Chinese descents in their country though.
The better thing about Indonesia and Malaysia are they don't eat anything compared to Chinese/Vietnamese due to Islam rules. However, even strong belief from religion rules can't beat when it comes to survival from poverty. Especially to parents who have to raise their children. That's why poaching is going on in these two countries.

Most conservation ngo is more into ecotourism in Africa countries since majority attention is going on in Africa. It is the same as jaguar conservation is doing their best in the Pantanal region to work on ecotouism since it is the best place to see wild jaguars. The problem is is it possible to save Asian animals before everything will disappear? Southeast Asia itself is incapable. Reply
