Increase in Tiger Population (AMAYA AVILA 8PD)

In six years the tiger population has increased  by 20 percent, in the 20th century the tiger population amounted to 100,000, but today there is 3,890 tigers in the world.The population increase "is a pivotal step in the recovery of one of the world's most endangered and iconic species," said Ginette Hemley, senior vice president of wildlife conservation at WWF. The increase is a key step toward the population to double by 2022.
Better survey processes and enhanced protections in explaining the gains. But it adds that the world's tigers remain threatened by tiny habitats in Asia and that they are also a target for poachers.
The preservation of National parks by FDR are similarly related. Conservationists back in the day would support the safe-keepings of the world's most endangered species. FDR'S New Deal was a positive step forward, just like this population increase for the world's most beautiful animal.

  2. This is so awesome to hear because it shows that what we are doing is kind of working! Hopefully we can double their population by 2022.
