Tigers are an endangered species and all over the world the tiger hunting has been banned. In fact the population is dwindling very fast and if no end is made to end this poaching then the chances of the tiger population surviving the next century are very bleak.
The tiger's species which are surviving now are the white tigers which are primarily found in Siberia. The Siberian tigers are the most endangered species of all the tiger species. The estimated population remaining today of these Siberian Tigers is only about 350.
The reason why the Siberian Tigers are killed because of the fact that these have bones which are used in the making of the medicines as well as their skin is used for making of good fur clothes for winter use. Poachers all over the world keep track of the tigers and infiltrate the habitat of the tigers to kill them and then sell for thousand of dollars.
The other major species that is there which is known for the threat to its existence is the Royal Bengal Tiger. This tiger is found in the South Asian countries but mainly in India. Again they are killed for their skin as well as for their bones which are used in medicines.
Indian government initiated a major project called the Project Tiger to make sure that the Tiger reserves were created in all parts of India. This was done to ensure that the Bengal Tiger has a habitat to live and it was safe from the rampant poaching that happened.
Jim Corbett in India did a lot to show the plight of tigers in India and there is a national park in the name of Jim Corbett. The other major place where the tigers are known to be present is the Sunderbans area in Bengal and that area is considered to be the best for habitat of the tigers.
Apart from these two main types of tigers there are other tigers like the Indochinese tigers as well as the Sumatran tigers which are struggling for their survival. Sumatran Tigers are found in the area of the Sumatra in Indonesia and their population is now considered to be in the range of about 1000 or so.
Tiger hunting is banned in almost all the countries. This has been done to ensure that the tigers do not become extinct. In fact a lot of governments have set up special parks and reserves with special protection in place to ensure that no poaching of tigers takes place.
