Troy Hansel, deputy director at Wildlife Conservation Society, Vietiane LAO PDR, talks about how Wildlife Conservation Society and Rare are working to raise tiger populations in Laos. There may be as few as nine tigers left in the Nam Et-Phou Louey National Protected Area. There are as few as 3,500 tigers left in the world.
Wildlife Conservation Society’s Rare Pride campaign will protect the prey of the last tiger population in Laos by celebrating hunters who hunt wild animals legally and by promoting the reporting of poachers who threaten the food security of local communities.
