The Global Wild Tiger Population

Let's go to the jungle together. The word "tiger" in Latin tigris means Actaeon spotted hound dog. The number of wild tigers in the world is estimated to be between 3,062 and 3,948. WWF estimates the number of tigers is 3,200. Why was the tiger extinct? Poachers continue to kill the rest of the world's tiger team. New demand for tiger's skin, teeth and nails, especially Sumatran tiger, in Southeast Asia. Tiger parts have a large market share in traditional pharmaceutical markets made from items such as tiger's bones and body parts.

The result is devastating to the animal population that is decreasing due to habitat destruction and climate change. For example, in the census of 2016, the number of wild tigers in the world is recorded as 3,990, which has drastically decreased from 5,000 to 7,000 tigers estimated in the 1998 survey. "The impact of poaching is shocking," Dr. John Goodrich, senior director of Panthera Tigers, the world's wildlife conservation organization, told me. "This is a much more serious threat to the Tiger population, demand is mainly from China."

For a century, the number of tigers is increasing worldwide with large-scale conservation activities such as India, Russia and Nepal! According to a survey released by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), it is estimated that there are 3,890 wild tigers that increased from 3,200 in 2010, and by the year 2022 several countries made a historical promise . Doubles the number! However, success has not been achieved yet - according to research there are only seven in China, five in Vietnam, and two in Laos and Cambodia.

India has the world's largest wild tiger habitat. In the census of 2014, the population is 2,226 people, estimated to have increased 30% since 2011. In 1973, the Indian Tiger Project established by Indira Gandhi established more than 25 tiger reserves in settlement areas and prohibited human development. The number of wild Bengal tigers in this project increased from about 1,200 in 1973 to more than 3,500 in the 1990s, but in 2007 census the number dropped to about 1,400 tigers due to poaching. After the report was announced, the Government of India promised to provide $ 153 million in the initiative to develop measures to fight poaching, reduced the interaction of people and hubs and created eight new tiger reserves Promised to fund the resettlement of up to 200 thousand inhabitants in order to establish. India has also been told to reintroduce the tiger to the Sariska Tiger Reserve and by 2009 it had been effective in poaching in the Lanthambore National Park.
