The number of wild tigers has decreased dramatically during the 20th century. Today, around 4,000 individuals remain. In addition, suitable tiger areas have changed greatly, so today only 6-7% of the tiger's former hunting grounds remain.
Hunting and logging due to ever-increasing population pressure are the main reasons why the tigers are decreasing in numbers. Not least, the increasing use of palm oil has resulted in the conversion of many forests into oil palm monocultures. In recent years, the use of ground tiger bones in so-called tiger wines has also increased strongly. The rise in the South Asian and East Asian economies since the mid-1970s has led to high demand for tiger products. 

LOSS OF LAOS FINAL TIGER

A decade ago carnivore biologists identified a remote protected area in northern Laos, called Nam Et-Phou Louey, as the country's probable last haven for wild tigers. To formally test this supposition, researchers set up camera traps in 2013 and quickly confirmed two tigers' presence. But the success was short-lived: over their study's four-year course, they never saw those or any other tigers again. This result, reported last October in Global Ecology and Conservation, confirms that tigers are now functionally extinct in Laos. Habitat loss is partly to blame, but Macdonald, senior author and wildlife conservationist at Oxford University, says that the main driver is “the astonishing, corrosive tide of poaching." Tigers can thrive in human-dominated landscapes: India has the world's second-highest human population, but it has prioritized tiger conservation and now hosts two thirds of the planet's remaining wild tigers. Macdonald says the respective examples of India and Laos offer lessons for countries such as Thailand, which still has about 200 wild tigers; conserving habitat is critical but so is weeding out corruption, cracking down on poaching and reducing demand for big cat parts. “One way or another,” he adds, “people have to change.”

The tiger lives and hunts alone. It mainly eats large ungulates, such as deer, but also hunts other animals such as wild boar and monkeys. The tiger is most active during the dark hours of the day and spends the rest of the day at rest. The males move over a larger area than the females and a tiger reef in, for example, India can amount to around 60 square kilometers for the males and 25 square kilometers for the females. In areas with lower prey density, such as Siberia, a tiger reef can be up to 1,000 square kilometers.

AMOUNT OF TIGERS IN THE WILD ( 2020 )

CONSERVATION STATUS (IUCN)

HIGHLY ENDANGERED

The tiger is the largest member of the cat family. In the past, tigers could be found all the way from Turkey in the west to Russia in the east, but today they only exist in about ten countries in Asia. Here you can learn more about the tiger as a species and the threats to it.
