Wildlife Rescue and Poaching in Cambodia

The video highlights the plight of animals like Dara the tiger at the Penomet Male Rescue Center in Cambodia, victims of illegal poaching. The Wilderness Protection Mobile Unit (MU) rescues these animals, with some being rehabilitated and released back into the wild. However, many require lifelong care due to their inability to survive independently. The video discusses the illegal trade of animal parts, particularly tigers, for traditional medicine. The rescue center cares for over 800 animals, providing a safe haven while efforts continue to combat poaching.
