The phantom of the rainforest is becoming the hunted
In short: Watch as experts navigate Malaysia's forbidding rainforests to track the elusive Malayan tiger. This video explores a high-stakes survey using thousands of camera traps to determine if this striped monarch can survive the threat of poaching.
The Malayan tiger is currently facing a crisis where it has transitioned from a dominant predator to a primary target for poachers seeking to sell its parts. To combat this, a definitive new survey is being conducted in extremely challenging conditions to map the remaining population and identify their specific habitats.
Researchers have deployed thousands of camera traps across the rainforest to capture insights into the tiger's remaining wild life, with the results serving as a critical call to action for conservation.
