THE TIGER
By Mukarram Ali Faridi
Introduction
The tiger (Panthera tigris), one of the world's most beautiful and revered
animals, stands near the brink of extinction. Since the turn of the century, its
habitat and numbers have been reduced by up to 95 per cent. For a million
years the tiger ruled over a territory stretching from eastern Turkey to North
Korea, its forest home extending northward to Siberia and southward into
Bali. In this century alone, three sub-species of tiger were driven into
extinction, including the Bali, Javan, and Caspian. Tragically, the remaining
five sub-species are at risk of meeting the same fate. Now there are less than
50 Siberian tigers left on this planet--fewer than 20 in the wild. In addition,
tigers compete with expanding populations of human industry for land and
food, and are killed by poachers when interfering with the plans of man. If
these trends continue, despite many laws and conservation efforts, the wild
tiger may soon be doomed to extinction.
Largest of all cats, tigers are formidable predators. The male Siberian tiger,
the largest subspecies, can grow to 13 feet (4 meters) in length and weigh
700 pounds (317 kg)! With razor sharp, retractable claws, long canine teeth,
and powerful jaws and legs, they can bring down animals far heavier than
themselves, including large hoofed animals like India's chital deer and wild
boars. Tigers can eat 40 to 100 pounds (18 to 45 kg) of meat every day.
Habitat
• Most Tigers live in Asia, specifically throughout Southeast Asia, China,
Korea and Russia. Tigers like to live in swamps, grasslands, and rain
forests. Usually where Tigers live there are trees, bushes, and clumps of
tall grass. It shades the Tiger from the sun when it's extremely hot. Not
only does this protect them from the sun, it also helps them to
camouflage with their surroundings and surprise their prey. Unlike other
cats, Tigers love the water and are very sensitive to heat. Tigers are very
powerful swimmers. Most Tigers will soak themselves in water usually
after having a fleshed meal.
How many Tigers are left?
• A century ago there were 100,000 tigers roaming the forests,
swamps, and tundra of Asia. TODAY, there are as few as 3,200 left
in the wild. Only 7% of the historic tiger habitats still contain tigers.
At this rate, wild tigers will be extinct in just a few decades.
Reasons behind them being endangered
• Illegal Hunting for Medicinal Trade
• China's Growing Demand
• Weak Law Enforcement
• Poaching and Habitat Loss
• The Genetic Threat
• Impact of Catastrophes
Why tigers matter…
• Ecologically speaking, loss of large cats such as tigers from their natural habitat has
been seen to result in irreversible changes in natural ecosystems. Being at the top of
the food web, the decline of large predators may lead to over-abundance of
herbivores such as deer, which in turn has repercussions on tree regeneration and
seed dispersal. Such effects reverberate through the food-web, causing long-term
changes in natural flora and fauna, eventually leading to species losses. For instance,
the absence of carnivores has led to over-population of white-tailed deer in Eastern
United States, of blue bull in the Gangetic plains of northern India and agoutis in
Barro Colorado Island, Panama.
Ways to conserve the tiger population
• Educate the people on the tiger issue
• End demand for tiger parts
• Stop the illegal hunting and poaching
• Protect tiger habitat
• Research on tiger science
• Reduce human-tiger conflict
• Increase political will, funding and commitment on tiger conservation
THE END
Thank you
