The following analysis is based upon records available to the SSN Big Cat Working Group and ENV which indicate that since the start of 2000, at least 5,786 Asian big cats have been identified in trade globally, of which 22 percent (1,247) were tigers from both wild and captive sources.3 It is likely that these totals are much higher, for example a new report suggests that as many as 1,590 tigers have been traded since 2000. |
