Tiger decline is 'sign of world's failure'
Tiger numbers are continuing to fall. Organised crime rings are increasing part in illegal trading of tiger parts. Also interpol is working to track the internationatl trade. The decline is seen in the most poor countries. These are some sentences that experts have said about this issue. "If we use tiger numbers as a performance indicator, then we must admit that we have failed miserably and that we are continuing to fail,"
"Although the tiger has been prized throughout history, and is a symbol of incredible importance in many cultures and religions, it is now literally on the verge of extinction."
Even though government agencies including police and customs needed to step up efforts to combat the illegal trade, there are many countries who don't respect the animals, for example China and other Asian countries are the principal consumers of tiger parts.
It is said that China is a big treath to the wild animals. The tiger product trade, and to ensure that breeding operations are "consistent with the conservation of wild populations".
