Is there any recent report about much  sought after plan of reintroducing tigers and ecosystem restoration in mondulkiri province of cambodia?

Greater mekong's eastern plains landscape in cambodia and vietnam contains incredibly rich in biodiversity and hosts one of the highest assemblance of large mammals in the world.
easternnplains landscape consist of unique deciduous dipterocarp forest,similar to that of india.which is very suitable of large mamamals.a bulk of forest remains in the mondulkiri province of cambodia.

Just 50 years ago, scientists compared this important ecoregion with the savannas of East Africa. Once called "serengeti of asia".Large herbivores like Banteng,gaur,elephants,sambar deer,eld's deer,asian wild water buffalos,kouprey(possibly extinct.a few may occur at virachey national park of north),javan rhinocerous(extinct in this region),and many more,roamed in large numbers.predators include indochinese tiger,leopard,dhole etc.now only few of the species occur here.the last image of tiger captured is in 2007.
 As cambodia have one of the highest deforestation rates in the world.rampent poaching depleted much of the species.still vast forests with low human population suitable for tigers remaining in this region.this unique landscape is now underestimated.
Poaching is the great threat for reintroduction.the plan is now or never?
few pictures from this region:
