The Indochinese tiger is a subspecies in freefall — the last wild population of Panthera tigris corbetti, found in small, isolated pockets of forest across Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Thailand.
Today, fewer than 350 individuals survive in the wild, spread across a handful of fragmented reserves.
Cambodia's Eastern Plains, once considered a stronghold, now has confirmed breeding in only two protected areas. The reasons are the same as for all Asian tigers: habitat loss, prey depletion, and poaching.
But the Indochinese tiger faces a particular problem: organized wildlife crime networks supply tiger farms in China and Vietnam with bones and skin.
