Threats

Tigers are facing habitat loss, poaching and illegal trade. Poaching for illegal trade in high-value tiger products including skins, bones, meat and tonics is a primary threat to tigers. Conversion of forest land to agriculture and silviculture, commercial logging, and human settlement are the main drivers of their habitat loss.

Conservation

Tigers are included in the ‘Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)’ Appendix I.
