The iconic Malayan tiger features prominently in our daily lives, even though most of us have not seen a wild tiger in person before. With its numbers dwindling to less than 400 individuals in entire Peninsular Malaysia, we must no longer deny the fact that our national pride is facing a crisis.

To strengthen tiger conservation and protected area management of tiger priority sites in Malaysia, the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN) and WWF-Malaysia recently jointly organised a workshop to discuss ways to tackle the tiger poaching crisis in our country. With inspiring lessons from Nepal and Bhutan, which are zero poaching countries that are also tiger habitats, it is hoped that Malaysia’s first CA|TS Mini Lab will ignite the fire needed to save a national icon from extinction.

With Global Tiger Day fast approaching on 29 July, let’s give our Malayan Tiger all the help that it needs to survive. Please follow us at My Tiger Project to find out how.
