Wildlife 1 Conservancy, a Thai-registered NGO, has been involved in several sensitive wildlife conservation projects across Asia since 2010. Our objective is to protect biodiversity and counter illegal wildlife trade and trafficking through strengthening the capacity and capabilities of agencies and institutions tasked with this purpose.

Thailand’s remarkable success, increasing the number of tigers in WEFCOM from about 40 to more than 140, stands in stark contrast to the tiger’s fate elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Global Conservation supported WCS Thailand for Park and Wildlife Protection, combining Global Park Defense and Community Protection.

UPDATE: A revised national wild tiger population estimate of 175-223 individuals has been provided by the Royal Thai Government. The country's wild tiger population has increased, surpassing the previous estimate of 148-189 tigers. This is a major milestone in the history of tiger conservation in Thailand, as it makes the country the first in Southeast Asia to do so.

Thailand has proven to be one of the most skillful countries to work with to deploy Global Park Defense to achieve 'No Cut, No Kill" protection.

Jeff Morgan takes us on a journey to Sumatra, Thailand, and Nepal to talk about critical strongholds where the planet’s last wild tigers are attempting to survive. Along the way, he talks us through visits to national parks around the globe, where Global Conservation is working with game rangers to even the odds against poaching.

Asia has lost over 95% of the Tiger’s historical range, and there are less than 4,000 tigers left in the wild. Excluding India and Nepal, the situation is even more dire. The largest forests remain in Myanmar, but these have been poached out, leaving empty forests where the Tiger once roamed freely. No Tigers remain in all of China, Cambodia, Laos, or Vietnam.
