Tigers Tigers have lost 93% of their historical range. The clearing of forests for agriculture and timber as well as the building of road networks and other development activities pose serious threats to tiger habitats. Fewer tigers can survive in small, scattered islands of habitat, which leads to a higher risk of inbreeding and makes tigers more vulnerable to poaching. As forests shrink and prey gets scarce, tigers are forced to hunt domestic livestock, which many local communities depend on.

Climate change and global warming is not a myth or a faux like most people believe, they are real and it's affecting everyone in the world. Even if they don't realize it right now, they soon will.

Jake Pogorzelski Global Perspectives Mr. Etter December 12th, 2014 Research Paper Today, there are more tigers in Texas than the Bay of Bengal.

endangered which leads to a chain reaction that can be devastating to ecosystems. Species such as the Chinook salmon, gorillas, tropical sharks, and polar bears are all directly affected by climate change, species such as northern spotted owls, Sumatran tigers, and lemurs are greatly harmed due to habitat loss, and species such as the sea turtle, Javan rhinoceros, African elephant, and the Red-Fronted Macaw are all affected by poaching driving them all closer and closer to becoming extinct.
