5. HABITAT LOSS
Across all of Asia, vast forests have been cleared for agriculture.
•As forest space diminishes, tigers can't find the prey they need to
survive. As a result, tigers have begun to eat the livestock belonging to
villagers.
• To protect their livestock villagers kill the tigers .

6. poaching
A tiger's coat sells for as much as $20,000 on the
black market.Tiger bones, claws, eyes and even
the whiskers command high prices for use in
Eastern potions and elixirs.To fulfill the
demand, the world's last tigers are being
illegally trapped, poisoned and shot by the
poachers and then smuggled across
international boundaries.
