Globally, the tiger _Panthera tigris_ has lost 93% of its habitat and three subspecies in the last 100 years. Today, less than 3,000 wild tigers survive in 14 countries. The initial decline in tiger numbers was primarily due to large-scale loss of habitat but in more recent times such losses have been exacerbated as the smaller and isolated populations that survive are hunted for their body parts, persecuted by angry farmers and villagers, and starved as their prey is over-harvested. Threats to the survival of wild tigers are mounting and a world without wild tigers may become a reality in our lifetime unless drastic measures are taken. |
