Designing a Suitable Landscape Areas for Tiger Habitat in Jeli

Malayan tigers (Panthera tigris jacksoni) are currently hunting toward extinction. The primary threats facing this species are habitat loss and fragmentation as a result of human-tiger conflict, agricultural, logging and other human development, retaliatory killing by farmers for attacks on livestoc...
