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.

Tiger sightings increase in Thai forest

This year 79 tigers were captured on hidden cameras in Thailand’s Thungyai-Huai Kha Khaeng forest, which is an increase of more than 70% from 13 years ago. The forest accounts for half of the country’s tiger population.
According to the WWF, wild tiger numbers are starting to gradually increase globally. Tiger populations are stable or increasing in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Russia and China. An estimated 3,900 tigers remain in the wild, but in some areas, including much of Southeast Asia, tiger numbers are declining.
BBC Thai spoke to researcher Sompoch Duangchantrasiri about why it is important to keep the big cats in Thailand’s forests.

If Indochinese tigers can cross from Thailand to Myanmar, as it was tragically the case with a 3-year-old male which was killed after injuring 2 fishermen, then can they cross into Malaysia, and breed with the genetically distinct Malayan tiger?

The male tiger, known to scientists as "HKT-206M", which was killed in Kayin State, eastern Myanmar (with borders Thailand), on the 25th of February, 2016, after injuring 2 fishermen in a wetland. The previous February, it had been photographed with its mother in Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary in western Thailandhttps://newsroom.wcs.org/News-Releases/a...iland.aspx

New study less than a month old

How Important Are Resistance, Dispersal Ability, Population Density and Mortality in Temporally Dynamic Simulations of Population Connectivity? A Case Study of Tigers in Southeast Asia

[color=rgba(95, 63, 48, 0.75)]Abstract

Development of landscape connectivity and spatial population models is challenging, given the uncertainty of parameters and the sensitivity of models to factors and their interactions over time. Using spatially and temporally explicit simulations, we evaluate the sensitivity of population distribution, abundance and connectivity of tigers in Southeast Asia to variations of resistance surface, dispersal ability, population density and mortality. Utilizing a temporally dynamic cumulative resistant kernel approach, we tested (1) effects and interactions of parameters on predicted population size, distribution and connectivity, and (2) displacement and divergence in scenarios across timesteps. We evaluated the effect of varying levels of factors on simulated population, cumulative resistance kernel extent, and kernel sum across nine timesteps, producing 24,300 simulations. We demonstrate that predicted population, range shifts, and landscape connectivity are highly sensitive to parameter values with significant interactions and relative strength of effects varying by timestep. Dispersal ability, mortality risk and their interaction dominated predictions. Further, population density had intermediate effects, landscape resistance had relatively low impacts, and mitigation of linear barriers (highways) via lowered resistance had little relative effect. Results are relevant to regional, long-term tiger population management, providing insight into potential population growth and range expansion across a landscape of global conservation priority.

not a fan of posting dead tigers but due to the fact that some of them are locally extinct (or almost?), i think we can learn from them how they really look like even though the photos are in black and white.

A male and female Malayan Tiger. An increasingly rare sight, indeed.
