The Malayan Tiger<\/span><\/h2>\n

In the last century, tiger populations have declined drastically due to several factors. There are now less than 150 Malayan Tigers remaining in the wild. It is an unsettling trend for many reasons, as tigers play an essential role as apex predators in the ecosystems, and their disappearance could disrupt an entire ecosystem. The crucial question we must acknowledge is how they will survive in the next 10 years.<\/span>

Malayan Tiger Facts <\/span>– The Symbol <\/span>
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Malayan Tiger has immense ecological, cultural and symbolic value for Malaysians. In Malaysia, the Malayan Tiger or Panthera Tigris Jacksoni symbolises bravery, strength, and grandeur.

One of the most worrying <\/span>Malayan Tiger facts is <\/span>how we allow this symbol of courage, strength, and dignity to be treated this way. To see them vanish from our Malaysian soil is heartbreaking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Malayan Tiger Facts<\/span> – Its Habitat<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another <\/span>Malayan Tiger fact<\/span>,<\/span> habitat destruction has also contributed to their decline, as well as human encroachment on the land where Malayan Tigers once roamed freely. Clearing forests for illegal logging, agriculture, road networks, and other development activities can seriously threaten them. Not only that, but disconnected patches of forests that are smaller in size can heavily contribute to the extinction of the Malayan Tiger. Because of the disparate numbers of male and female tigers of breeding age, tiger reproduction can suffer if the population declines. Therefore, the connectivity of critical wildlife corridors in the central forest needs to be restored to protect the primary and secondary linkages. Protecting the Malayan Tiger means protecting the forest habitats, the biodiversity, and the food chain that supports them, which helps the eco-services and natural resources that humans rely on. With their survival, we will have an ongoing supply of clean water, breathable air, and adequate carbon sequestration that will help mitigate the effect of natural disasters.<\/span><\/p>\n
