Poaching and habitat loss have prompted a 97 per cent decline in the tiger population in the past 100 years.
Government announces plans to reintroduce the species
 
Conservationists have declared tigers 'functionally extinct' in Cambodia, as there are no longer any breeding populations left in the wild.

WWF Cambodia says the last tiger was seen in 2007 on camera trap in the eastern Mondulkiri province.

'Today there are no longer any breeding populations of wild tigers in Cambodia and the species in considered functionally extinct,' the conservation group said in a statement.

The Royal Government of Cambodia has revealed plans to reintroduce tigers to its Eastern Plains Landscape.

As one of 13 tiger range countries, Cambodia has an important role to play in Tx2 - an ambitious global project to double wild tiger numbers by 2022, the next Chinese Year of the Tiger.

Poaching and habitat loss have prompted a 97 per cent decline in the tiger population in the past 100 years, according to WWF.
