India is translocating some of its big cats to Cambodia as Project Tiger completes 50 years next month

Cambodia has identified at least 90 acres of forest land at its Tatai Wildlife Sanctuary for the tigers.

India is translocating some of its tigers to Cambodia where the tiger population has become extinct, according to a memorandum of understanding signed between the two countries.

Following the translocation of African Cheetahs from Namibia in September last year, India signed an MoU with Cambodia in November, according to news reports, to assist it with “all technical details and knowledge’’ regarding the reintroduction of tiger in the country.

Cambodia has reportedly identified at least 90 acres of forest land at its Tatai Wildlife Sanctuary in the Cardamom rainforest to welcome tigers from India.
