In the last 100 years the population of these magnificent animals have had a terribly worrying decrease of their population.
Who is your biggest enemy?
the humans. The hunting for its skin and the loss of habitat has made the population of this wonderful species has had a very worrying decrease. It is estimated that 100 years ago there were about 100 000 specimens in the wild, in 1993 there were about 7000, the majority in India, in 2013 this number became 3000 specimens in the wild.
On July 28th, the World Tiger Day was celebrated. Here I leave you some beautiful photos shared by the national geographic on this special day.

Sadly and with a lot of respect for their culture, these tigers are being hunted to market their parts for their supposed mystical powers. Here I leave an article of a newspaper with a tragic news, I recommend discretion, the images can be strong for some.
Let us take conscience, nature is like a domino, by a single species that disappears many will suffer the consequences.
