rescue mission to save a three-legged tiger from poachers is underway in a forest in Thailand. Photos of the crippled animal, captured by wildlife protection organization Freeland, show the tiger feasting on a local farmer's buffalo in the Khao Laem National Park, where poachers have recently been operating.

​​The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) is working with environmental organisations to tighten wild tiger protection measures, including the setting up of camera traps and a ban on raising cattle in protected areas.
