New tiger sightings in Thailand raise conservation hopes
By Juarawee Kittisilpa BANGKOK (Reuters) - Camera traps in a forest in western Thailand have captured footage of tigers in an area for the first time in 4 years, a conservationist said, raising hopes over efforts to preserve the species in the Southeast Asian country.
The video & photographs show 3 male tigers roaming at night, including at one point peering directly into one of the camera traps. 'We are excited about this discovery,' Kritsana Kaewplang, country director for conservation group Panthera in Thailand, said of the footage which was released on Global Tiger Day.
There are estimated to about 160 Indochinese tigers left in the wild in Thailand. A database of Thailand's tiger population showed two of the tigers had travelled from the northern part of the forest to the south, while the third had not been documented before.
