subspecies of tigers are in danger of extinction. Tigers are classified as endangered species because the numbers of tigers are decreasing very fast. Extensive habitat and fragmentation has forced tigers to live in small‚ isolated pockets of remaining habitat‚ making it harder for tigers to reproduce. The expansion of human activities in tiger habitat led into overhunting of tiger prey species. This problem has become more of an issue due to the natural environment of tigers being destroyed at an alarming

Save the tigers Someday‚ we may never see tigers again because tigers are on the critically endangered list‚ which is why the National Zoo was celebrating Global Tiger Day. This is happening because of poaching and habitat changes. Large plantations have replaced a lot of tiger habitat in several tropical range countries. Tigers occupy only around 7 percent of their historic range. The current wild tiger population is at as few as 3‚200 tigers‚ including only about 400 Sumatran tigers‚ which are listed

Land pollution is one of the gravest kinds of pollutions. I say so because we do not realize when and how we pollute land due to different things we do and decisions we take. We realize the air is getting polluted when we step out of our houses and take a deep breath. We know when our actions cause water pollution‚ for we can see for ourselves the quality of the water worsening. Similarly noise‚ light‚ visual pollution can all be monitored‚ because we can all see or sense these kinds of pollution

I. CAUSES OF THE DECLINE IN NUMBER OF CORBETT TIGERS IN VIETNAM 1. Massive Habitat and Prey Loss Many years ago‚ when there were still rain forests covering 43% of the area‚ tigers distributed on the highland and midland. In the 1960s‚ VN had thousands of tiger living in nature. The key findings from many years of study of tiger population have indicated that in many sites‚ tigers decline in numbers because of habitat loss and prey depletion rather than being killed directly. A tiger needs to

speciation is that of the North American Black bear. Once living in harmony in North America‚ it was able to interbreed‚ and so was classified as one species. However due to fragmentation of its habitat‚ different groups of the bear scattered around North America‚ causing the groups of bears to adapt to their new‚ different habitats‚ causing both physical and genetic differences between the groups. These new differences now prevent the bears from interbreeding‚ showing how the change in geographical

competition from livestock grazing‚ and diseases introduced by domestic livestock devastated bighorn populations. Although problems with domestic livestock are subsiding‚ they still exist and are now accompanied by accelerating habitat loss and human disturbance. Habitat loss and fragmentation are recognized as the most significant threats facing bighorn sheep today. Natural predation from mountain lions‚ coyotes and bobcats also pose a risk to bighorn populations that have dwindled to low numbers. ~ An

Meaning of Conservation Conservation is the act of using and protecting resources properly. Catching animals‚ throwing garbage‚ and using and harnessing the different resources should all adhere to the proper way of conservation.\ Wildlife includes all non-domesticated plants‚ animals and other organisms. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet‚ and has a major impact on the environment‚ both positive and negative. Wildlife
