Saving Tigers from extinction

Drastic reduction of wildlife is a global concern as it contributes greatly to environmental degradation. Among other reasons, the fast -growing industries and economic boom in the developing and promising countries can be attributed to the wildlife population. For centuries , villagers living in Asia's forest , mountains and icy tundra have learned to fear and respect the mighty tiger.But rapid economic growth and modernisation have reduced the number of tigers to as few as 3200 in the wild, mostly in India, Russia and Indonesia . Currently there are fourteen tiger range countries in the world-Bangladesh,Bhutan ,Cambodia,China,India,Indonesia,Laos,Malaysia,Myanmar,Nepal,North Korea,Russia,Thailand and Vietnam.
