| The Bengal Tiger is one of the only five remaining subspecies in the world. There were three others but became extinct in the last 50 years. The population of tigers has declined by 95% in the last century. It was estimated that there were 100,000 tigers in the beginning of the last century. There is now only 5,000-7,400 tigers left in the world. This is due to the cutting down of their habitats and poaching. Today many organizations are trying to save the tigers and wolves by providing sanctuaries and trying to attract the public's attention to how close the tigers and wolves are to becoming extinct. If we don't act soon there will be no tigers or wolves left in the wild and only be in zoos. We must all work together and do everything we can to save these magnificent and beautiful creatures before it's too late. |
