(TIGERS) THAILAND — A proposed dam in Thailand would flood almost eight miles of a national park where conservationists have been working to increase the wild tiger population.

Experts say the dam will literally wash away years of conservation efforts. Read on for more information on the Mae Wong dam. — Global Animal

We have parks, reserves and wildlife sanctuaries in which it is illegal to hunt certain animals, but it’s hard to enforce those rules in vast areas with few people around.

Read on to learn about what some are proposing to tackle the urgent need of wildlife protection. — Global Animal
