TIGER
The tiger is the largest cat species. They are recognizable for their pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside. The tiger is the national animal of India, Malaysia, Bangladesh and South Korea. There are about 10 subspecies of tiger. Some of them are surviving but some of them are extinct. The surviving subspecies of tiger are Bengal tiger, Indochinese tiger, Malayan tiger, Siberian tiger, South China tiger, and Sumatran tiger. Extinct subspecies of tiger are Bali tiger, Caspian tiger, and Javan tiger.
At the beginning of 20th century, there were over 100000 tigers in the wild. Tigers were poaching for fur and body parts. They were killed for their skin. That’s why the tiger population were decreasing. Now the tiger is an endangered species, which means the population of tiger is decreasing. The major reasons for population decline include habitat fragmentation, habitat Destruction and poaching. So, humans should avoid these and protect the tigers from poaching.
Tiger is a beautiful animal and it helps to protect the forest. Saving the tigers means we save the forest. If we are saving tigers then there should be other animals lived in the forest like deer etc. for their food. So, we can say that if we save tiger then we can save the forest kingdom with all the animals in it. One tiger save up to 100 sq. km of forest.
The healthy population of tigers help to maintain the healthy ecosystem.
Now a day, there are about 5000 tigers in the world. In 5000 tigers, two-third tigers are lived in India. There were 1411 tigers in 2006. In 2016, there are 2226 tigers in India. This is the most impressive increase in the population of tiger in India. The population of tiger also increased in Russia, Nepal and Bhutan. This is the first time tiger number have been increased in 100 years.
To save the tigers, we have to do these:-
- The country should step up anti-poaching patrols and offers compensation to victim who experience injury or loss from tigers.
- Ban the goods which are made up of tiger’s body parts.
- Protect forest.
- Encouraging students
- Donate money to tiger conservation organisation.
