WHY ARE TIGERS BEING ENDANGERED?

Tigers have lost an estimated 95% of their historical range. Their habitat has been destroyed, degraded, and fragmented by human activities.

The clearing of forests for agriculture and timber, as well as the building of road networks and other development activities, pose serious threats to tiger habitats. 

Illegal poaching and killing of tigers mainly for their skin, teeth or hide is done widely in the world. We should prevent such activities.
