Extinction
• High demand for meat and fur
• 800-900 left in wild
• Cubs only born every 2 - 2.5 years
• Forced to compete w/ us for habitat
• The ecosystems where the tigers live supply both nature and people with fresh water, food, and many other vital services – which means by saving the tiger, we are saving people too

What can we do to take responsibility?
◦Donate to organizations like WWF, The Sierra Club, and Oceana. You get a cute little calendar when you donate, so it’s a win-win relationship.
◦ Adopt a tiger for a month from a zoo
◦Do your part to spread awareness-challenge yourself to research about endangered species, and then see how many times you can annoy/educate your friends (heck, even random strangers) by spouting these awesome facts to them!
◦ Raise funding to preserve the habitats where these beautiful animals live.
◦ Visit parks that specialize in tigers for tourists to view. The money you spend on your ticket goes straight back to the animals and research.
