The Indochinese tiger has been a critically endangered species for years now.

But a breeding population of the tigers was recently found in a jungle in eastern Thailand, and conservationists couldn't be more ecstatic.

Thailand's Department of National Parks, along with wildlife organizations Freeland and Panthera, shared the good news Tuesday.
泰国国家公园部和野生动物组织Freeland和Panthera周二分享了这一好消息。
The group used camera traps to capture photos and video of the small tiger population in the jungle. And among those tigers were at least six cubs.

The only other known breeding population of the tigers is in the Thailand Wildlife Sanctuary.

The discovery is very encouraging for the Indochinese tiger species. Researchers estimate there are only 221 of the tigers left in just two Asian countries.

Conservationists are crediting the success to increased anti-poaching efforts in Thailand. Still, one conservation program director called the rebound "nothing short of miraculous."
动物保护者们将其归于泰国增强的反偷猎行动。不过，一位保护项目主任称这次回弹“简直是一个奇迹”。
