flag Malayan tigers, down to fewer than 150 in the wild, face extinction from poaching, habitat loss, and insufficient protection despite some enforcement efforts.

flag Malayan tigers, now fewer than 150 in the wild, are on the brink of extinction due to poaching, habitat loss, and human conflict. flag The death of a female tiger named Bulan, killed in a traffic accident and later illegally harvested for her body parts, has highlighted the crisis. flag Despite government efforts including AI camera traps and joint law enforcement operations, experts say resources are insufficient, with only a fraction of the 5,000 rangers needed to protect tiger habitats. flag Wildlife crime remains highly organized and lucrative, driven by demand in Vietnam and China for tiger pelts, bones, claws, and whiskers. flag In early 2025, authorities made 201 smuggling arrests and seized $30.5 million in assets. flag Conservationists stress that sustained investment and expanded enforcement are critical, as the next decade may determine the species’ survival.
