Concept
We as a human being were always surrounded by different kind of animal
such like cat, dog and bird. However there are some species of animals fallen
into the categories of extinctions animal. Such like tiger, rhino, Bubal
Hartabeest(wild goat), sea mink and Caribbean monk seal. And here by I will
be choosing Tiger as subject matter for the assignment.
Tiger have lost 93% of their historical range. Their habitat has been
detroyed, degraded and fragmented by human activities. The clearing of
forests for agriculture and timber as well as the building of road netweorks and
other development activities pose serious thereats to tiger habitats. Fewer
tigers can survive in small, scattered islands of habitat, which leads to a higher
risk of inbreeding and makes tigers more vulnerable to poaching. Every part of
the tiger from whisker to tail is traded in illegal wildlife markers. Poaching is the
most immediate threat to wild tigers. In relentless demand, their parts are used
for traditional medicine, folk remedies and increasingly as status symbols
among some Asian cultures.
There are usually limited resources for guarding protected areas in the
countries where tigers live. Even countries with strong enforcement of tiger
protection laws fight a never-ending battle against poaching. In Indochina and
China, poaching is so pervasive that thousands of forest acres stand empty of
tigers. The impact from the death of a single tiger at the hands of poachers
reaches beyond one single loss. If a female tiger with cubs is killed, her cubs
will likely die without their mother. Also, the female's potential for future
breeding is lost. If a male is killed, his death can result in intensive competition
for his territory among surviving males in the population, creating disruption in
further breeding by those males.
People and tigers increasingly compete for space. The conflict threatens
the world’s remaining wild tigers and poses a major problem for communities
living in or near forests with tigers. As forests shrink and prey gets scarce,
tigers are forced to hunt domestic livestock, which many local communities
depend on for their livelihood.
