Tigre in Extinction ...

Mahendra Shrestha, director of the Save the Tiger Fund, told Reuters on the sidelines of a conference on the conservation of the tiger said that according to a recent survey carried out

are just 3500 tigers in the wild in 12 Asian countries, including Russia. Very few if we consider that there were about 100,000 a century ago.

In practice, the tiger may become extinct within two decades, thanks a business that flourishes in Asia where nothing is regulated, and the risk of most are just wild animals.



But other threats are from habitat destruction and the reduction of prey.


There are five subspecies of tigers are still alive: the Siberian or Amur tiger, the Chinese or Manchurian tiger, the Indochinese tiger, the Sumatran tiger and the Bengal tiger. Other 3 subspecies have disappeared over the past 50 years: the Bali tiger, the tiger of Java and the Caspian tiger.

The Tiger of Bengal today was by far the most numerous subspecies with an estimated population in about 4,000 copies in the 90s. The area includes four distinct regions of India and parts of Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar (Burma)

The Amur or Siberian tiger is now only in the Far Russian Far East, with about 300-350 units estimated in the late 90s, plus some on the border with China and perhaps North Korea.

Although few of the predators and as capable of killing the man, lately have become prey, victims of poachers and pollution always present, even in the few "green lungs" where they continue to live. The EIA, Environmental Investigation Agency, which is the investigative agency for environmental protection, is trying to combat this network of illegal sale of tiger, trying to stop this phenomenon in the bud. In particular, therefore, stopping the capture and transport of specimens prior to their murder and the subsequent sale. However it is not an easy task, and the road is all uphill now .
