Tiger Extinction

Tigers are going to be extinct

The amount of tigers in the early 1900s was upwards of 100,000 tigers alive and well. The amount of tigers in 1980 were less then 4,000. Along the way the Bali tiger, the Caspian tiger, and the Javan tiger all became extinct. The years were 1930s, 1970s,  and 1980s. Today all 5 types of tigers are on the critically endangered species list and it doesn't look like they are coming off. Most tigers are on reserves and in zoos only for there own protection and possible reproductive reason. The Amoy tiger was in upwards 4,900 in 1949, to today there is only 50.  None are known to be surviving in the wild, all are in zoos and wildlife preserves. Each of the tigers species is in danger. Personally i would love to have my own tiger and save them from extinction. 

ROAR

"Concerned that there are only 4,000 wild tigers left in the World, pupils will be undertaking a fundraising and awareness challenge called ROAR! Read, Observe and Rescue. All money raised will go to 21st Century Tiger, the Zoological Society of London's tiger conservation project. The school will celebrate World Book Day a day late on Friday 2 March with all 200 pupils invited to dress in tiger costumes instead of their usual uniform. During the month pupils will take part in challenges to obtain sponsorship for the number of books they read about tigers and animal conservation. Highlights of the programme include a tiger poetry and writing workshop by the poet Ruth Padel, Charles Darwin's great great grand-daughter, author of Tigers in Red Weather. The Very Revd Andrew Nunn, Dean of Southwark, will lead a spiritual workshop based on William Blake's poem The Tyger."  -http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/view/5863
