While protected areas ensured higher annual survival of female tigers, more cubs and a stable population, logging in multiple-use lands is a key threat and may increase poaching. This study suggests the need for more investment in law enforcement, especially outside protected areas. bit.ly/4s9lzP2
New research highlights the hidden impact of roads on Asia’s wildlife. A review across 36 countries documents over 200,000 roadkill records and shows roads fragment habitats, alter behaviour and increase risk for many threatened species.

Exciting new research from the biochemists!
New research shows real progress for the Critically Endangered Amur leopard. Camera trap monitoring in southwest Primorsky Krai estimates 118 individuals, double 2014 levels and up 20% since 2020.

New research from Nepal’s Tarai Arc shows what works for human–wildlife coexistence. Predator-proof corrals and improved fencing reduce losses from tigers, leopards and elephants, but long-term solutions need habitat restoration too.

Camera traps in China’s largest tiger reserve captured a rare first: an Amur tigress with five cubs.
Filmed in late 2025 at Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park, the sighting signals conservation gains for the endangered Amur tiger—though experts warn the population is not fully secure.
Fascinating look at the problems facing the Sundarban’s tigers
No other agency of the U.S. government has saved more lives per dollar than U.S.A.I.D.—it supplied medicine, food, and staffing for some of the most desperate and vulnerable. A new short documentary shows the impact of its dismantling. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/2a5Jm5
Feeling rather chuffed with my American version of #TigersBetweenEmpires brought all the way to London by @jonathanslaght.com. Thank you!
First review is in: WCS’s @jonathanslaght.com shines a “scientific-yet-soulful spotlight on one of the world’s most amazing creatures” in his new book, Tigers Between Empires.
The book, out Tuesday, Nov. 4, details WCS’s tiger conservation work.

African Swine Fever crashed wild boar in Thailand (2022–24). Now they’re bouncing back at Khao Laem NP: detections rose from 41 (2022) to 343 (H1 2025). Good for the food web and neighbouring communities. 🐗🐯

A proposed rail expansion in India’s Western Ghats aims to boost coal transport, but could slice through vital tiger and wildlife corridors. A powerful example of the tension between development and connectivity.

[COMMENTARY]
“The IUCN congress offers a crucial chance to turn global attention toward the pet trade. If we fail to act, this commerce will continue hollowing out ecosystems, spreading invasive species, and endangering health,” a new op-ed argues.
