Previously undetected in other protected areas, a tigress known as SWT001F was the first individual tiger captured on camera in Thailand's Sisawat Non-Hunting Area in 2024. Panthera, Thailand's DNP and other partners are working to monitor and protect Indochinese tigers and their prey in this region where camera traps have shown tigers are using Sisawat forest as a corridor. Currently plans exist to propose the adjoining forest area to the east as an extension of Sisawat.
