| Ecology, behaviour and resilience of the tiger and its conservation needs | |
| 1997 Book Chapter | |
Over the last century the tiger's landscape has changed dramatically. An expanding human population has put increased pressure on the tiger's habitat, its prey, and on the tiger itself. Forests and grasslands have been lost, degraded and fragmented, and ungulate populations have declined precipitously, both in abundance and distribution. Tiger numbers have also declined, and almost all remaining populations are now small and isolated. In the last 25 years these changes have accelerated, increasing concern for the continued existence of the tiger. |
