More About Tigers

The Tiger has been pushed farther and farther into remote areas and before long, there will be no place left to go.

[ ] The Tiger's Range in 1900

[ ] Current or Potential Tiger Habitat

Unlike the cats in Africa who enjoy large protected wildlife reserves, the Tiger only lives in Asia, these areas on the map which have fewer protected areas.

It is estimated that in only ten years there will be no more Tigers in the wild!

The Tiger is at the top of predators.  Their extinction will be felt very rapidly with an imbalance and over population of all animals below it.  Nature's order will be disturbed.
