35 IUCN Red List Species protected, including 16 Critically Endangered and Endangered species

The ranger and enforcement team in Southern Cardamom is constructing a tiger reintroduction station, which includes ponds for swimming, wild pig enclosures for tiger prey, workers house and a veterinary station. By 2023, the Indian government will begin the reintegration process by donating at least 10 tigers, giving them the opportunity to roam free in Southern Cardamom’s dense rainforests under the legal protection of Southern Cardamom REDD+ rangers. The network of protected areas from Southern Cardamom to Tatai and Phnom Samkos wildlife sanctuaries represents an ideal landscape to implement the national tiger recovery program; the first of its kind to be initiated in Cambodia.
