I am the founder and CEO of Wildlife Alliance, a Cambodia-based organization that implements a direct on-the-ground approach to conserving natural resources and combines ecosystem management with development of economic incentives for local communities.
The upcoming reintroduction of tigers into the Cardamoms Rainforest is more than just a prospective triumph for wildlife conservation; it is a promise of hope in our fight against climate change, the preservation of our forests, and the protection of indigenous communities.
India will be sending four tigers to Cambodia this year in a historic bid to revive the kingdom’s big cat population. The last sighting of a tiger in Cambodia was in 2007, and they were declared “functionally extinct” in 2016. These new arrivals will be acclimatized in a 90-hectare forest enclosure inside the Cardamoms Rainforest before being released into the wild.
Forests are our planet's lungs, absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Healthy forests store more carbon, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. The Cardamoms Rainforest, one of Southeast Asia’s last remaining major forests, plays a critical role in this process. By protecting and rehabilitating this forest, we are contributing to the global fight against climate change. The presence of tigers will be a sign of a healthy ecosystem.
The upcoming success of the tiger reintroduction will be a vivid illustration of how interconnected our environmental challenges are. Tackling climate change, protecting forests, and defending indigenous rights are not separate issues; they are deeply intertwined. Our holistic approach recognizes this interconnectedness. By addressing these issues together, we can create a sustainable future for both people and wildlife.
