Royal Bengal Tiger-LR9A2807

Its Their World Too They Have a Right To Live- Save Tiger

 

When experts say that the population of tigers in the wild is small, it isn’t an exaggeration. There are less than four thousand specimens, and some subspecies are already extinct in the wild.

 

People’s fear of tigers have made them be depreciated and accused of attacking men, which has contributed to some extent to their current situation. Also, they continuously face threats such as poaching and habitat loss, which has put them in a grave danger of extinction.

 

From the six subspecies, three are “Endangered, ” and three are “Critically Endangered” being the southern Chinese tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis) the most threatened of all since for more than 25 years there have not been records of sightings in the wild.
