nature and us humans are responsible for it‚ We as an understanding species should address this situation‚ By not knowing the difference between the concept of natural selection and humanity’s hand in shaping the environment would allow your conclusion to continue‚ What I believe the main problem is the way humans think of this and the way they react to it.

That’s why protected areas form a central element of any national strategy to conserve biodiversity

White tigers are an endangered species and it is said that less than a dozen have been seen in India in about a hundred years. In fact no sightings have been reported since 1951. This may be caused by the fact that the Royal Bengal tiger population has dropped from 40‚000 to 1‚800 in the past ten years and as few as one in every 10‚000 tigers is white (www.cranes.org/whitetiger). White tigers are neither albinos nor a special species. They differ from the normally colored tigers by having blue eyes
