Habitat: Where does the Indochinese tiger live? /
The Indochinese tiger is mostly found in lowland and highland tropical deciduous, semi-evergreen and evergreen forests in Indochina.Today, the subspecies is confined to remote forests in hilly to mountainous terrain mostly along the borders of their range states. Most are found in Thailand, but they also live in eastern Myanmar, southern China, Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Vietnam.
Threats
While good habitat is extensive in some areas, habitat fragmentation due to rapid development – especially the building of road networks – is a serious problem, especially in Vietnam. This fragmentation forces tigers into scattered, small refuges, which isolates populations and increases accessibility for poachers.
solutions
Improving habitat conditions so that both tigers and their prey populations will naturally increase Training protected area personnel and rangers to carry out surveys, and to effectively manage protected areas where tigers are found
