It is estimated that only 4,500 to 5,200 individual tigers now remain in the wild. These remaining tigers are threatened by many factors, including growing human populations, loss of habitat, illegal hunting of the tiger and the species they hunt, and expanded trade in tiger parts for traditional medicines. |

This century has already seen major losses of wild tigers. By the 1950s, tigers living around the Caspian Sea were extinct. Populations of tigers that once inhabited the islands of Bali and Java are now extinct. The last Bali tiger was killed in 1937; the last Javan tiger sighting occurred in 1972. India today has the largest number of tigers, with between 3,030 and 4,735. The South China tiger, with at best 20 to 30 individuals, is nearly extinct in the wild. |

More seriously its tragic whats happening, its obviously not just tigers though humankind is endangering many kinds of animals all over the world. Tigers are some of the most beautiful animals on the planet, it'd be awful if the only way to see them in the future is in photgraphs, movies and the internet. |

Isn't there a viral agent which only harms humans, and spreads airborne

Good post Spartakus:
The tiger is not the only threatened species, just to mention a few, there's the Komodo dragon (only an estimated 1,000 to 5,0000 of these lizards live today), there's the Imperial Parrot (only 80 to 120 remain), the African Elephants, the Jaguars, and the list goes on and on.... Of great importance to their survival will be any effective law enforcement, public education, and protection of the remaining animals, which,unfortunately, some captive specimens never breed successfully, unless they are in the wild. |

Yeah, people should be more bright than to use plus-minus signs as "approximative" (you have ~ for that).

Shame I too am human. Otherwise, I would go on a world-wide human-slaying spree.
