(Photo: Salak Phra Wildlife Sanctuary)Climate change presents a big challenge for protecting and preserving tigers in the wild, says the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment permanent secretary Jatuporn Buruspat. Speaking on Saturday at the event "Move Forward to Sustainable Tiger Conservation" to mark Global Tiger Day on July 29, in Nakhon Sawan province, Mr Jatuporn said the country has done a good job of protecting and preserving its wild tiger populations. He said efforts by forest officials and other stakeholders had been a success, as the wild tiger population in Thailand has increased. As long as the forest is fertile, the tiger population should grow sustainably.
