Tigers are the world's largest cats, with a global population estimated at around 5,570 individuals in the wild. The tiger is critically endangered, having lost 95% of its historical range due to human activity. Why are tiger habitats disappearing? Deforestation and logging: The destruction of forests for timber and to clear land for agriculture destroys the tiger's natural refuge. Urban sprawl: The construction of roads, transportation networks, and the growth of cities fragment their habitat. These small, isolated spaces force tigers to leave their protected areas, increasing conflicts with humans and the risk of poaching. Prey scarcity: Logging and poaching reduce the available food (herbivores) for the feline. Climate change: Rising sea levels and extreme weather events are damaging key mangrove and forest regions in Asia. What is being done to protect them? To ensure the species' survival, international organizations and governments have implemented various conservation strategies: Creation of biological corridors: Connecting isolated forest areas to allow tigers to move, hunt, and reproduce safely. Reforestation plans: Projects to restore degraded habitats, such as planting tens of thousands of trees. Combating illegal trafficking: Implementing the use of technology and camera trap patrols to protect the felines from poachers.
