Thailand Champions Tiger Conservation in Southeast Asia, Aiming to be A Regional Leader

Thailand was internationally recognized as the "Champion of Tiger Conservation in Southeast Asia" during a meeting held in Paro, Bhutan. This achievement is the result of the commitment from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, which has dedicated a budget and resources for continuous tiger conservation efforts. The ministry has collaborated with experts and partner organizations both domestically and internationally, leading to a significant increase in the tiger population in Thailand, from 148-149 individuals in 2022 to approximately 179-223 individuals in 2024.

 

The increase in the number of tigers in Thailand is a positive sign for the country's ecosystem. The government and relevant agencies will continue to support ongoing efforts to restore and conserve the tiger population, with the goal of becoming a regional leader in tiger conservation by 2034. There are three main strategic plans: maintaining and improving protection standards for tiger habitats, strengthening area management and tiger population monitoring systems, and increasing the number of wild tigers. All of these efforts will help bolster tiger conservation in Thailand and the region. It is believed that Thailand will successfully implement its action plan and become a leader in tiger conservation in Southeast Asia.

 

Thailand's success in tiger conservation in 2024 not only demonstrates the ability to increase the tiger population but also lays a solid foundation for Thailand to become a leader in wildlife conservation at the regional level, which will play a crucial role in restoring and maintaining biodiversity in the future.
