Hopes are high Thailand will double its tiger population by 2022. Their major homes are in the Western Forest Complex's Huai Kha Kaeng-Thung Yai Wildlife Sanctuary, the Phu Khew-Nam Nao Forest Complex, and the Eastern Forest Complex's Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex. If there is enough food, safe territory and a good patrol team that can prevent wildlife poaching, the tiger population is certain to increase, he added. "If everything is in place, we are likely to meet our target of doubling the tiger population,'' said Mr Songtham, adding successful measures will be replicated at other tiger parks. The cubs were proof that the wildlife sanctuary's tiger population was growing.
