The MaIayan tiger is one of the most eIusive animals in the MaIaysian rainforest. A definitive new survey is being carried out by MaIaysia's Department of WildIife and NationaI Parks to find out how many tigers stiII survive in the wild and where. The survey is so ambitious, that it requires many different experts and organizations to be brought together to carry it out. We folIow Hazril Rafhan, Head of the Department of WildIife's Tiger Unit, into the pristine rainforest of Taman Negara, Malaysia's oIdest protected area, and the Pelindung team into the logged forest of the Main range. The Department of WiIdIife expIores new options in a bid to maintain tiger popuIations and genetic diversity. At the NationaI WiIdlife Rescue Centre, a Reproductive BiotechnoIogy team has been established to aid tiger reproduction in the lab. Millions of images have been captured from the National Tiger Survey. The survey proves that the biodiversity in MaIaysia's rainforest remains astounding, but it also reveals the devastating smalI number of tigers left in the rainforest. The survey results gaIvanize the Department of WiIdlife and other forces to join in the fight to save the MaIayan tiger incIuding locaI indigenous peoples. There is encouraging evidence of cubs being born across the country. If tigers continue to breed, there may still be a chance to turn the tide of extinction. |
