PHNOM PENH: In a historic move towards restoring the kingdom’s biodiversity, Cambodia and India have announced that their long-planned collaboration to reintroduce tigers, declared extinct in Cambodia in 2016, has borne fruit, and will see the dark forests of the Cardamom Mountains echo to the roar of the apex predators once again.

The initiative, part of the "Tigers Re-introduction Strategy in Cambodia," aims to revive the majestic species and bolster conservation efforts in the kingdom, one of South-East Asia's most significant ecological regions.
