Threat
Humans are killing their habitat by rapid deforestation and poaching. Labeled as critically endangered. They capture and kill them for their skin, bones, claws and canines(teeth). Deforestation is from clearing out land to make plantations, sometimes palm oil nursery’s), & settlements.

What’s being done to help
• The WWF has created the National Park, Tesso Nilo, to protect this kind of species.
• Provided a synthetic wild type life.• “We have set a bold but achievable goal of
Tx2: doubling the number of tigers in the wild by 2022, when the next Year of the Tiger is celebrated.”

What I can do to help
• A way we could help protect this animal is by having a bake sale, at the school socials and other school functions to raise money. After we get enough money then we can adopt a tiger from WWF, with are parents help to fill out all the online info. Then we will have bake sales once a month and keep on donating to WWF.
