Tigers
- In 100 years tigers lost 97% of their population
- There is an estimated population of 3200 tigers in the wild today before tiger protection was enforced
- The decrease in population is caused by loss of habitat and poaching
- Many people poach tigers because they believe that the tiger’s body parts can treat everything
- There are about 5,000 tigers in the U.S due to tiger protection
- Tiger protection monitors the population so they can keep track of poaching and keep poachers away.
