Everyone knows that there are endangered species, but did you know that some species that are critically endangered that they will vanish within the next couple of years? There are only 6 different types of tigers left in the world that are threatened to extinction. Due to hunting for their delicate and beautiful fur so their numbers have been slashed down to 300-400 Indochinese tigers, 20-40 South China Tigers in captivity there is none left in the wild, 150 Malayan Tigers, 400-600 Sumatran Tigers, fewer than 4,000 Siberian Tigers left, fewer than 2,000 Bengal Tigers left in the wild. We desperately need to urgently protect the tigers before they become total annihilation like the Caspian, Bali and Javan Tigers. The main reason for decline in the population of tigers in the world is habitat loss to road building, forest fire, farming, industrial development and unsustainable logging. The second reason is because of brutal hunting by poachers. We can still save these majestic cats by making more reserves for tigers.

My first point is the declining of population of tigers is their habitat is decreasing . We know that it is harming the tiger are decreasing by 1 to 4 numbers a devastating catastrophe. The tiger habitat has been decreasing because of road building, forest fire, farming, industrial development and unsustainable logging and during the past and present tigers have lost an estimated 95% of their historical range with a dangerous risk that tigers can't live in small, scattered islands of habitats. These make the tigers more vulnerable to poaching. Tigers have lost their lives to rail ways and road buildings. The worst of habitat loss is illegal and unsustainable mining to be worst offender, with vast swathes of forest felled; mining causes massive disturbance, while they drain water from the ground and cause polluting water and soil. Young adult tigers are vulnerable to this since they leave their mother at around 17-24 months of age. Sometimes their territories are so small that they are going to road buildings or industrial development. The population has decrease so devastatingly unless more facts or ideas to save tigers around the world before their numbers decline to 30 tigers for each type or become extinct.

We know that tigers are heart-breaking declining, every year 1-4 tigers are dying? Some are from hunting/poaching. These are devastating results. If tigers come out of their territories because of demanding destruction of their forest. "93% of their forest" by American Museum History - The Tiger Crisis. Tigers are slowly coming out and been hunted for their bones in Chinese Medicine or fur. The poaches can do it in 1 second to hunt the tigers. Every day poachers come to hunt for their fur or bones, Everyday farmers have cut down trees in their territories, Everyday cubs will have a chance of losing their mothers'. Abigail Robinson has stated that "Tigers and other big cats are being poach because of the lose of their habitat." Time will tell what will the poachers do everyday for the bones or fur of tigers. But no people from the nearby village will go near the forest of tigers will say it is not cruel to kill tiger with traps that causes a slow agonising death. WCS ( Wildlife Conservation Society) stated " The tigers prey have been hunted by skilled hunters to feed insatiable local luxury market for 'exotic bushmeat." The silenced, skilful, majestic tigers are being hunted for their majestic fur and bone. We need to stop hunting/poaching before their are only 30 tigers for each type left in the wild countries or they have gone extinctic.

Without a doubt in mind, The public or government to build more reserves for the tigers to be safe from habitat losses and poachers. Reserves can bring tigers back as demonstrated by World Wildlife Fund said "protecting these tigers forest is the most cost-effective way to prevent droughts, reduce flooding and limited the impacts of climate change." Tiger reserves can help bring there numbers back up is the best greatest idea to help their population grow. I like how they are helping tigers, helping the forest and helping the grass around the forest. World Wildlife Fund says that " Tigers are a cultural icon for millions. in Indian culture." In some countries tigers are culture by countries because of its time immemorial for these felines. We can save the earth by "Significant to pacify climate change, most importantly help trees grow to bring down carbon dioxide," stated by World Wildlife Fund. By doing our part to show that carbon dioxide is soaring in Asia so to bring it down with more historical landscape of the tigers to decrease carbon dioxide levels. The tigers can decrease climate change in a second by "economic advantages for communities like dirty rain water or dead trees." stated by World Wildlife Fund. The World Wildlife Fund has helped tigers to regenerate and save them from poachers and helped to decrease climate change. Without the reserves the tigers will only have 30 tigers left or each type in different countries in the wild or captivity with new ideas or ways to create a place that tigers can overcome from the endangered list.

I have clearly shown you that tigers need help so more fact, ideas or ways to save them before only 30 tigers for each different types are left or they go extinct. The beautiful, majestic, soft fur tigers are killed illegally, while they are wounded by road buildings and their beautiful historical forest is damaged. So what you need to do is to promote the establishment of reserves, encourage the presentation of reserves and talk to other people to give donations to World Wildlife Funds for tigers. Their Website is www.worldwildlife.com then go to the donation page of tigers or any animals that the World Wildlife Fund are helping and donate $10 or $10-$50 to protect the tigers.
