Perhaps the most spectacular of all animals in danger of extinction is the magnificent tiger,the largest cat on the planet.
Tiger can be up to 4 metres long and over a metre high,weighing up to 225 kilos and they have beautiful fur with black or brown stripes.They hunt animals like wild pig,deer and buffalo and can eat as much as 40 kilos of meat in one meal.
Fifty years ago therewere between 25,000 and 3,000 tigers in Asia but this nuber has fallen ti between 5,000 and 7,000. Since the 1980s,the consevation programme 'Opration Tiger'has tried to save the Indian tiger by establishing national parks or reserves.
Unfortunately,the tiger's body is in enormous deand for traditional Chinese medicine and illegal hunters can get up tp $20,000 for a dead tiger.Aldo their habitat is disappearing because poor farmers are cuting wood at reserves like Ranthambhore National Park in India. If we cannot stop the hunting or protect its habitat,in the next few years this great cat will disappear forever...

i don't think so.....many of animals will extincted if we do not do anything to save them....but the problem is, what we can do to save them? is it enough to become an environment activist or how? this is complicated issue which we couldn't solve by us only. What the real thing we can do??????
