Good News For The World’s Tigers(panthera Tigris Ssp)?

Long overdue. Glad they are finally taking concrete steps.
Count of Royal Bengal Tigers at the Sundarbans, for example, has also dropped sharply. Yet neither my nation nor India has done much to attend to such a threat.
Funny isn’t it, how one of the most ferocious yet magnificent animals on this planet are facing extinction at such a threatening level? Sometimes tells me if there happens to be a vote in the animal kingdom as to which species should be kicked out for good, the human beings would be chosen unanimously to face the boot.
This is the first step, but I do wonder just how much time we’re gonna need to actually make any substantial progress towards preservation of tigers. As you mentioned, Chinese Traditional Medicine Trade is just one of the many underyling problems. You have poaching, their skins which fetches so much at the black market, and shameless customers purchasing tiger products.
But here’s another good move taken sometime ago in this context:http://www.brightsurf.com/news/headlines…
And yet tigers being an endangered species is just the tip of the iceberg. Many, many other common animals in today’s world are also faced extinction, starting from elephants to sharks to even some species of monkeys.

It’s wonderful that they’re talking about this…though possibly 20 years too late,. I know they make great big noises about things as a PR exercise. The public heart has been tugged by the perilous position of our largest big cat and world governments are well aware that they cannot be seen to be sitting on their hands in the face of its extinction. But let’s see what the results are before we start patting them on the back.
The greatest single threat to tigers is habitat loss. And this shows no signs of slowing in Indonesia, as world demand for two cash crops grows.Soy beans for the production of Bio diesel and palm sugar for the yuppie food fetishist market.
And until we in the west curb our selfish demands for these products, native forests on South East Asia will continue to be ravaged on the altar of corporate plantation owner greed and the selfishly misguided lifestyle choices of those of us in the wealthy developed world..
