Protecting the King of Jungle.

Tigers are mammals of the same family as cats. These large cats are unique in appearance and behavior. They are nocturnal animals who hunt at night. Tigers are recognized as the King of the jungle and hunters of exceptional skill. However, the rapid decrease in tiger population in recent years makes it imperative for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to seriously step up its tiger conservation efforts.
The WWF is an international organization that has been involved in wildlife conservation for over 40 years. Its missions are dedicated to the protection and conservation of natural resources and the environment through a combination of scientific knowledge and local wisdom. WWF has also developed close collaborations with numerous individuals, conservation groups and organizations at different levels in many countries all over the world.
- The Marbled Cat (Pardofelis marmorata) is a small wild cat of South and Southeast Asia. Since 2002 it has been listed as vulnerable by IUCN as it occurs at low densities, and its total effective population size is suspected to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, with no single population numbering more than 1,000. Marbled cats are found in tropical Indomalaya westward along the Himalayan foothills westward into Nepal and eastward into southwest China, and on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. They are primarily associated with moist and mixed deciduous-evergreen tropical forest.

- The Asiatic Golden Cat (Pardofelis temminckii) is the largest of the small cat species & can be found from Tibet, Nepal & India to Southern China through southeast Asia to Sumatra. This cat is very uncommon & threatened by deforestation, & hunting for their pelt. This sub species is classified at near threatened and they do not breed well in captivity.  Found only in the country of Borneo, the Bay Cat is still a mystery and may simply be a smaller island form of the Asian Golden Cat. Because of their reclusive nature and small habitat, they managed to elude photographers in the wild for a long time.

- The Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalsensis) is a small wild cat of South and East Asia. Leopard cats are about the size of a domestic cat, but more slender with longer legs and well-defined webs between the toes.
Their range extends from the Amur region in the Russian Far East over the Korean Peninsula, China, Indochina, the Indian Subcontinent, to the West in northern Pakistan, and to the south in the Philippines and the Sunda islands of Indonesia. They are found in agriculturally used areas but prefer forested habitats.
They are rare in Pakistan’s arid treeless areas. In Sabah’s Tabin Wildlife Reserve leopard cats had average home ranges of 3.5 km² (1.4 sq mi). In Thailand’s Phu Khieu Wildlife Reserve 20 leopard cats were radio-collared between 1999 and 2003.

- The Flat-headed Cat (Prionailurus planiceps) is a small wild cat patchily distributed in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Borneo and Sumatra. Since 2008, it has been listed as Endangered by the IUCN due to destruction of wetlands in their habitat. It is suspected that the effective population size could be fewer than 2,500 mature individuals, with no subpopulation having an effective population size larger than 250 adult individuals.
The distribution of flat-headed cats is restricted to lowland tropical rainforests in extreme southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei Darussalam, Kalimantan and Sumatra. They primarily occur in freshwater habitats near coastal and lowland areas. More than 70% of records were collected less than 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) away from water.
Flat-headed cats occur in both primary and secondary forest.
                                                     It's the first WWF stamps of Thailand.
