high-altitude tigers in Bhutan

Just had a chat with a friend from West Midlands Safari Park (UK) and she said there was a programme on Discovery Animal Planet about 3 or 4 year ago on the same tigers can anyone help us and remember the name it had the words Mountain Tigers in it thats all she could remember
 
Lest everyone forget this or next month is the big conference on future tiger conservation and action planning and the tiger corridors are critical in that endeavour. I personally do not see any harm in highlighting the Bhutan tigers as integral to that plan.

Be glad, or be ... (unless of course you could not care less if tigers will last for the next few decades). I could not care less meself whether the evidence was aired 3-4 years ago or not. I DO know that Alan Rabinowitz is one of the most knowledgeable and committed tiger conservationists around, so give the guy a break ... :D
 
There's no harm in it and it's great that the awareness has been raised. I just don't like it when the BBC news spends half its time plugging documentaries coming up later in the day!
 
I don't think anyone is criticising the programmes or even particularly the way the information was presented as a 'rediscovery.' A TV programme like this needs to have a story to hang itself on- 'we are going to film the known mountain -living Tigers in Bhutan' is not as catchy as 'we are going in search of the mountain tigers of Bhutan, are they still there?' type of approach.

But it is interesting to know the true facts in cases like this, rather than just what the TV portrays as 'fact'.
