«Did you know that there may have been over 100,000 tigers roaming this planet about a century ago? But by 2010, we had lost over 95% of the world’s wild tiger population to rampant poaching and habitat loss. As few as 3900 of them were left.
Tigers are crucial for the health of the places in which they live. They help keep numbers of animals they eat in check, which in turn maintains the balance between their prey and the vegetation which they feed on. This is not only important for wildlife but for people too – both locally, nationally and globally. People rely on the wilderness areas where tigers live, whether it is directly for their livelihoods or indirectly for food and products used in our daily lives».
