I am doing a research on The Bengal (Indian) tiger Panthera tigris. They live throughout the humid forests and grasslands of Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India and Nepal. There are only about fewer than 2,500 tigers left in the wild.
They are classified as an endangered animal because people are killing them. Poaching, illegal hunting, deforestation and habitat loss are the factors of the decreasing numbers of Bengal Tigers in the wild. Poachers kill tigers not only for their coats, but also for components to make various traditional East Asian medicines. Other factors contributing to their loss are urbanization and revenge killing. Revenge killing occurs as locals such as farmers who own livestock hunt down the tigers to prevent them from preying on their cattle. A burgeoning human population and its own needs are pushing the tiger out of its natural habitat. Increasing human-tiger conflicts often lead to retributive killings. Poachers also kill tigers for their bones and teeth to make medicines that are alleged to provide the tigers strength.
These are two videos where people kill tigers:
Here are some pictures where people kill the Bengal Tigers for their skin:

Then what can we do to save these tigers?
We can..
Don’t buy anything containing tiger parts
Spread the word
