I'm just watching a program on the BBC about the tigers of Ranthambore National Park, India, a place I visited around eighteen months ago.
It's sad to see how so few tigers survive in the wild. I'd imagine if you were to conduct a poll, few would know that there are less than 3,500 surviving in the world.
Take a look at the image below, yellow shows the historic roaming range of tigers, the green shows the current day range.
If something drastic isn't done sooner rather than later these magnificent creatures will become extinct. What a shame it will be for future generations to know that these animals which once flourished were wiped out on our watch.
