An amazing footage, filmed in Huai Kha Keng Wildlife Sanctuary,Thailand, is the result of the successful collaboration between Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Thai government.

Their main goal is to preserve the nation's biodiversity and put wildlife smugglers behind bars. The video reveals the presence of rare, endangered creatures in their natural habitat, Yale Environment 360 informs.

Officials say that the images of Asian elephants, tigers and the elusive clouded leopard reflect Thailand's progress in protecting its vulnerable species.

Western Forest Complex, one of the most important biodiversity hot spots shelters up to 175 tigers and the "most endangered elephant population" in the entire Southeast Asia.

Recently, WCS authorities have managed to arrest a group of smugglers who allegedly killed a tiger. Since the suspects didn't want to take responsibility for their actions, WCS officials used camera trap footage to prove that the creature was living in Thailand's forests.
