Recovering the Wildlife Zone to Reintroduce Tigers to Cambodia
In an effort to restore balance to the ecosystems of Cambodia, conservationists are working to recover wildlife zones and reintroduce tigers to the region. Once home to thriving populations of tigers, Cambodia has seen their numbers dwindle to near extinction due to habitat loss and poaching. However, with the establishment of protected areas and increased anti-poaching efforts, there is hope that tigers can once again roam freely in the country. This ambitious project not only aims to bring back a majestic predator to the landscape, but also to promote biodiversity and conservation awareness among the local communities.
