No one could say for sure how many of them are left. It was estimated that around 400 wild tigers reside in Sumatra, but this population is dwindling because of illegal poaching and habitat destruction, exacerbated by the need for forests to be converted into palm oil plantations.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2005, WWF field team discovered a family of tigers <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">camera trap in the area they are monitoring and patrolling. This news was shared only with a precious few who vowed to keep their presence a secret from poachers. The tigress mother was named Rima as a reference <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Harimau&#8221;; meaning tigers in the local language.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We were delighted to find out two years later<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rima&#8217;s cubs have safely grown up to become sub-adults! Our team analyzed the stripe patterns of three young tigers caught on camera playing with one another to realize they were from this same family.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A further dig into the extensive database also revealed Rima going off to mate with another tiger again after her children have learned to be independent.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The mating was successful as Rima soon appeared on camera again, walking proudly with her four new cubs. We wish this family the very best! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiger Family in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sumatra <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over the Years from WWF Tigers on Vimeo.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;This video is a wonderful illustration that tigers will indeed &#8220;breed like <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cats<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8221; if they have protected habitat, enough prey and are left alone. To reach the TX2 goal <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">doubling wild tiger numbers, we need governments, businesses, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">local <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">communities and everyone who cares about tigers to support tiger conservation efforts,&#8221;
