FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Thailand’s tigers: Is tourism sabotaging conservation efforts? • FRANCE 24 English” – below is their description.
Thailand is one of the few Asian countries where tigers still live in the wild. In recent years, the country has set up cameras and patrols to protect the felines and those efforts have paid off. However, while there are some 200 tigers roaming free in Thailand, ten times as many live in captivity, often in theme parks where the animals are treated as a tourist attractions. Wildlife conservation NGOs say these tiger parks are exploiting the big cats. Our colleagues at France 2 report, with FRANCE 24’s James Mullholland and Camille Nedelec.
