Скачать или смотреть Tiger Day - July 29

International Tiger Day is celebrated every year on July 29th as a way to raise awareness about this magnificent but endangered big cat. Tigers are majestic creatures, who may face extinction if not helped.
Poaching and the illegal trade industry is a very worrying one. This is the biggest threat that wild tigers face. Demand for tiger bone, skin, and other body parts is leading to poaching and trafficking. This is having a monumental impact on the sub-populations of tigers, resulting in localized extinctions. We often see tiger skins being used in home decor.
While this represents the biggest threats to tigers, there are a number of other threats as well. This includes habitat loss. Throughout the world, tiger habitats have reduced because of access routes, human settlements, timber logging, plantations, and agriculture.

There’s now estimated to be around 3,900 wild tigers.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, wild tiger populations have declined by around 95%.
