WWF-Malaysia is deeply saddened by the recent tragedy in Kampung Sau, Gua Musang, where a 59-year-old orang asli villager was attacked and killed by a tiger. We extend our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased. We are also devastated that the tiger had to be shot even though it was a critically endangered species.
Unfortunately, incidents of human-tiger conflict (HTC) are not uncommon in tiger range countries. HTC occurs when a wild tiger interacts with humans, their animals or livestock, resulting in an injury or death to a human, livestock or tiger.
