摘要: Dramatic population declines threaten the Endangered Indochinese tiger Panthera tigris corbetti with extinction. Thailand now plays a critical role in its conservation, as there are few known breeding populations other range countries. Thailand's Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex is recognized an important recovery site, but it remains poorly studied. Here, we present results from first camera-trap study focused on tigers and implemented across all protected areas this landscape. Our goal was to assess prey five of forest complex, reviewing discernible patterns rates detection. We conducted surveys opportunistically during 2008–2017. recorded 1,726 detections 79,909 nights. Among these were at least 16 adults six cubs/juveniles four females. Detection both potential species varied considerably between over period. findings suggest heterogeneity distribution relatively continuous landscape, potentially influenced by key species. This indicates that one remaining locations tiger. Despite limitations posed our design, have catalysed increased research conservation interest globally time for South-east Asia.
