Study Notes
Tiger Conservation
- Tigers are the largest cats globally, but face endangerment in all regions.
- Poaching for their body parts is a major threat; poachers profit from killing tigers, and a trapped mother tiger often results in the death of her cubs.
- Habitat loss is another severe threat. Tigers require significant forest and grassland habitat, far apart from each other, a necessity for successful hunting and breeding.
- Human encroachment on tiger habitats (i.e., logging, agriculture, urbanization) reduces available space for tigers, making it difficult for them to find adequate food and raise their young.
- Tigers sometimes prey on livestock, angering farmers; in turn, farmers may try to kill tigers.
- Starving tigers sometimes attack humans.
- Conservation efforts include establishing protected parks, apprehending poachers, and finding sustainable ways to use land without destroying tiger habitats.
- Zoos also play a role by educating people about tiger care and needs.
