In India tigers are on the verge of extinction . Poaching has caused the maximum reduction in the population of tigers in our country . Though Indian tigers account for over half of all the tigers remaining in the world , they still have not been declared critically endangered by IUCN ( international union for conservation of nature )
Illegal hunting for trade of their body parts has reduced the number of tigers drastically . Poaching for removing tiger body parts is a major threat to the existence of indian tigers . Tigers body parts like brain , teeth , blood , skin , fat and whiskers are used essential ingredients for traditional Chinese medicine . Apart from these parts curing mental illness , asthama , dog bites , sores , etc. The responsibility for the protection of tigers lies with the government .
Saving the Tiger is a wildlife conservation projet . Thus , stringent laws against poachers must be enforced to save indian tigers .
