There is only 3000-3500 of this majestic animal left in
our world today. People are trying hard to save it and a project in
northern india of a "breeding passage" are one of the big help project
going on just now to save the tiger.
Historically, tigers have been hunted at a large scale so their famous striped skins could be collected. But many people in China and other parts of Asia have a belief that various tiger parts have medicinal properties, including as pain killers and aphrodisiacs. There is no scientific evidence to support these beliefs. The use of tiger parts in pharmaceutical drugs in China is already banned, and the government has made some offenses in connection with tiger poaching punishable by death.
The tiger is the biggest cat animal on our planet and soon it will be extinct. We humans need to change our thinking about what we do to our own planet that we share with so many animals.
