The Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris jacksoni) is a subspecies unique to the Malay Peninsula. Back in the 1950’s, Malaysia was estimated to have as many as 3,000 tigers. However, the subsequent loss of habitat due to rapid development and agriculture expansion, as well as widespread hunting, has subsequently reduced the local tiger population to an official estimate of 250 - 340 individuals. Currently, about 90% of Malaysia’s tiger habitats are contained within four states which still have a substantial amount of forest cover: Pahang, Perak, Kelantan and Terengganu. The National Tiger Action Plan for Malaysia has also identified three priority areas for tigers in Peninsular Malaysia, namely the Belum-Temengor Forest Complex, Taman Negara and the Endau-Rompin Forest Complex.
