Tigers are apex predators, the top of the food chain. They eat large herbivores. Who in turn eat plants, That in turn provide food and shelter of smaller species.
Kill the tigers, the herbivores increase rapidly in number. They eat the plants, depriving other species of food and shelter. Predators that prey on those species, in turn, are adversely affected. Small rodents are happy, though and they increase rapidly in number (proliferate) . And so it goes. That's why the decrease of tiger is harmful for ecosystem of the forest.
