KUALA LUMPUR: There is only a small window of opportunity left to save the highly endangered Malayan tiger species and conservation efforts should not be in the hands of the government alone, said the Tiger Protection Society of Malaysia (Rimau).

Its president, Lara Ariffin said as such, Rimau was playing its part to save what was left of the less than 150 endemic species that could only be found in Malaysia, by working together with various stakeholders to stop poaching activities in Royal Belum State Park in Gerik, Perak.

Lara said the unit created with the cooperation of Perak State Parks Corporation had limited functions as they could only monitor poachers from a distance with no jurisdiction to apprehend the poachers themselves. "It is very heartbreaking to see not only tigers, but also other wild animals with their body parts permanently damaged by snares and traps.Asked if Rimau would engage in breeding efforts to multiply the number of Malayan tigers, Lara said it this was a last resort and not a viable option in conserving tigers.
