Malaysian tiger conservation and protection
2002 Full Book
In July 1997, the Tiger Research Unit was reestablished in the Department of Wildlife and National Parks headquarters by recruiting a new officer Mr. Wan Shaharuddin to head the unit. In November 1997, TRU began to conduct tiger surveys with technical support from Wildlife Conservation Society. In July 1998, the first fund from the Save the Tiger Funds was made available to the Department. The total fund granted was USD124,000, and as per contract, 80% of the fund, including purchase and repair of camera traps in the USA, has been disbursed to DWNP. As of 31 December 2002, we have closed the Save the Tiger Fund account in DWNP, and below we discuss the accomplishment, constraints, and reasons for delay in completing the project.
