Poaching and illegal trade:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Poaching of the tiger happens as there is a huge demand for each body part of the tiger from its Whiskers to its tail. Tiger body parts are in great demand for traditional Chinese medicine; hence they fetch big money in the illegal wildlife trade.<\/p>\n

Habitat Loss:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The tiger Habitats have encroached in a big way. Humans have cut down the forest area for purposes like agricultural lands, and timber and to create enough living space for themselves. The cutting of forests has lead to 93 percent loss of the natural habitat of tigers hence lowering the chances of survival. It has led to the conflict between humans and tigers, where both are competing for their own spaces.<\/p>\n

Climate changes:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Rising of the sea levels is wiping out the Sundarbans, the largest tiger habitat of Royal Bengal Tigers.<\/p>\n
