Tiger populations by 2022

 
Tiger, Tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
~William Blake~

"According to WWF's plan in helping the remaining tiger population by 2022, their goals are to eradicate threats and create environments where they can thrive.  The main concerns are that 3 subspecies are already extinct. Tiger habitats have shrunk by over 40% in the last decade alone. Today, tigers are limited to only 7% of their historical range. The illegal trade in wild life is the third largest form of organised crime in the world after arms and drugs!
Tigers will soon be gone  ....almost gone  forever." (Source: WWF )
