Due to human-wildlife conflict the Sumatran Tiger is listed as critically endangered, deforestation plays a vital role as the more land we preserve for ourselves the more this beautiful species runs into conflicts with us, once a tiger feels threatened and its territory is being taken over it will take action and those actions lead to the reduced numbers leaving less than 400 in the wild to date. If action is not taken now then our actions of us will cause this species to be extinct.

I couldn’t think of a worse fate than to see my favourite animal extinct in my lifetime, these eyes tell a story of many of its ancestors and a time when their home was vast and filled with life and their home wasn’t threatened by our actions. Tigers are unfortunately killed in large numbers for their skins, body parts and bones.

Because of this the Sumatran Tiger is labelled as Critically Endangered.Awareness for this species and action must be taken to ensure that this beautiful species can remain free in the wild and ecosystem restoration programs are in place to rebuild upon the damage we have caused
