The tiger is a carnivorous animal which mainly feeds on other animals and is heterotrophic. It has beautiful black patterns on its orange skin. The reason for why it is poached most is due to its skin, claws,etc. which are valued a lot in most parts of the country. For this reason, they are over-hunted and so their number has started to dwindle.

This year, 2010, is the year of the tiger according to Chinese astrology — and according to the World Wildlife Fund. But though the year is over, the crisis facing the tiger is not. A hundred years ago there were 100,000 tigers in the wild. It is now estimated that, worldwide, there are only about 3,200 tigers left in the wild, putting tigers in danger of extinction.
As India has about 60% of the world’s tiger population, the tiger crisis in India is particularly tragic. For many people, the image of the tiger – orange-and-black stripes flashing as it prowls with power and stealth through dense jungle foliage – is the symbol of India. Anyone who has visited India recently cannot help but be moved by the billboards that bear a photo of this magnificent creature against a black background and the words: “Only 1,411 left.”

Saving tiger habitat is key
Many people and organizations are trying to ring the alarm bell before it’s too late. The WWF’s Tx2 campaign is hoping to double the wild tiger population by the next Year of the Tiger in 2022. You can read more about the various strategies involved in this campaign on the site What WWF is doing for tigers.
In the latest news about the crisis facing the Indian tiger, Leonardo DiCaprio has joined the fight as a spokesman for WWF. DiCaprio made headlines around the world when he arrived at the World Tiger Summit in Russia in November 2010 and donated $1 million to the cause. He will be in India in the coming months for the WWF Save Tigers Now campaign. The actor hopes to help raise more than $20 million to double the worldwide tiger population by 2022.
But it’s more than just tigers these organizations are trying to save — it’s also habitat. The National Tiger Conservation Authority of India (formerly known as Project Tiger) has done a lot to protect tiger habitat in India, and to try halt the many forces edging the tiger closer to extinction, such as poaching. It was founded in 1973 with a mandate to create nine tiger reserves in India. The NTCA is now custodian of 27 tiger reserves. However, in spite of their efforts, the tiger population in India has dropped by about 60% on the last decade.

The tiger is the iconic symbol if India
It’s ironic that the world’s first tiger conservationist, tiger hunter-turned-protector Jim Corbett hailed from India – and started sounding an alarm as far back as the 1930s. The Corbett Tiger Reserve, India’s best-known tiger park, is named after him.
It’s also ironic that today, as greater numbers of people than ever are flocking to see tigers, the tiger population is declining. Recently, the government of India has announced it will restrict tiger tourism in India in a bid to halt the extinction of the nation’s iconic symbol and national animal.
But if people stop traveling to tiger country, appreciation for this animal, and awareness of the crisis, may dwindle. Save Tigers Now actually encourages people to visit tiger reserves: “Income from tourism at tiger reserves can be critical to building support among local communities for tiger protection. There is never a guarantee that travelers will see a tiger in the wild, but among the best places to try are India and Nepal’s tiger reserves and national parks. Look for tour operators who focus on nature travel, take travelers in small groups with expert local guides and are authorized by the park service of the country.”
