This presentation provides us information about how bengal tigers are getting extinct

3. 100 years ago there were 8
different kinds of tigers
(subspecies) - there were over
100,000 wild tigers in the world.
Today, there are only 5 tiger
subspecies left and there are fewer
than 7,000 wild tigers in the world.
The main threats to tigers are
poaching, loss of habitat, and
population fragmentation.

5. forest's health. Saving the tiger
means we save the forest since tiger
cannot live in places where trees have
vanished and in turn secure food and
water for all. If we make sure tigers
live, we have to make sure that deer,
antelope and all other animals that the
tiger eats (its prey base) live.

7. Also forests catch and help store
rainwater and protect soils. In this way
we protect our rivers and recharge
groundwater sources. Areas with less
trees lead to floods, killing people and
destroying homes. It takes away the
precious soil, leaving behind a wasteland.
The soil jams up our lakes and dams,
reducing their ability to store water. By
destroying the tiger's home, we not only
harm tigers, but also ourselves.

9. The tiger, one of the most magnificent
animals in the world, is also one of the most
endangered. A cat of beauty, strength, and
majesty, the tiger is master of all and

protection of all species on our earth since it
is at the top of the food chain. This is why we
sometimes call the tiger, an apex predator, an
indicator of our ecosystem's health .

11. Local institutions and people Scientists who
were closely involved in managing tigers at the
local level pointed out an important lesson
more than a decade ago: unless local
community needs are met, conservation of the
tiger will not succeed and protected areas will

to tiger habitat, grazing
lands for livestock have been converted to
crops or degraded by excessive use; livestock
is of poor quality and of poor productivity;
wood for fuel and building has been exhausted;
and sources of income are limited.

13. "Do not cut down the forest with its
tigers and do not vanish the tigers from
the forest.
The tiger perishes without the forest,
and the forest perishes without its
tigers.
Therefore the tiger should stand guard
over the forest and the forest should
protect all its tigers".

15. The Tiger is endangered
because it is poached for its
body parts to cater to an
illegal market. Another
reason is habitat loss due to
depletion of forest cover
interference of humans and
encroachment of forest land
by people causing
fragmentation. At the turn
of the century, there were
almost reportedly 40,000
tigers in India, but now only
around 4,000 remain in the
wild.

16. Bengal Tigers form the largest subspecies of tigers
in the world. Most commonly found in India and
Bangladesh, they are the ‘national animal’ of both
these countries. Living in grasslands and in
rainforests, they can weight up to 220kg. The Bengal
Tiger population is very fragile today: they have
nearly been driven to extinction and numerous
projects are now in place to preserve the population.
Although they do not typically hunt
humans, they may do so in cases of
extreme hunger.
Today, deforestation and urbanization have a major
impact on the Bengal Tiger population. Tigers are
forced to move out from their natural habitats and
as a result can no longer easily hunt food.

19. One particularly controversial incident was the
complete loss of the Bengal Tiger population in
the ‘Sariska Tiger Reserve’ as a result of
hunting.

20. Establishments and individuals who claim their trying to save or keep the
species alive are simply manipulating the truth to keep their unethical
activities alive. Breeding of white tigers is nothing short of evil and
benefits the tiger species in no way what so ever.
