Over the past 100 years, they have lost 939
fost 93% of their historic range, and have been extirpated from
stand central Asia, from the islands of Java and Bali, and from large areas of Southwest and
Fastem Asia. Today they range from the Siberian taiga to open grasslands and tropical mangrove
swamps. The remaining six tiger subspecies have been classified as endangered by IUCN. The
elobal population in the wild is estimated to number between 3,000 and 4.000 individuals down
from around 1,00,000 at the start of the 20th century with most remaining populations occurring
in small pockets that are isolated from each other. Major reasons for population decline include
habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation and poaching.
Tiger stripes are unique like fingerprints: No two tigers have the same pattern of stripes. The
