3,200


REUTERS- A surprising article was released the other day about how there are only 3,200 tigers left in the world. 3,200!!! How is this even being allowed to happen? Thankfully, several world leaders and other influential people were meeting this week to discuss the fate of these beautiful creatures. If nothing is done to slow the progression of their decline, tigers could easily become extinct within the next decade. The major cause of the demise, poaching of course. Thankfully, there are tigers in captivity to help with the populations and reintroductions, but with as few as 1,000 breeding females left, there isn't much hope for the future generations of wild tigers. Christmas is fast approaching and everyone should be doing something to save these critters in their time of need. After all, 'tis the season of giving.
