Conservation Status
Conservation hubFaces a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
Tigers face severe threats from habitat loss and fragmentation due to human development, as well as poaching for their body parts. Conservation efforts have seen some success in specific reserves, with populations stabilizing or even increasing in certain areas. Responsible safari tourism plays a vital role by providing economic incentives for local communities to protect tiger habitats and by funding anti-poaching patrols and conservation initiatives.
The tiger is a large cat and a member of the genus Panthera native to Asia. It has a powerful, muscular body with a large head and paws, a long tail and orange fur with black, mostly vertical stripes. It is traditionally classified into nine recent subspecies, though some recognise only two subspecies, mainland Asian tigers and the island tigers of the Sunda Islands.
