@ナショナルジオグラフィック @stevewinterphoto Happy World Wildlife Day—which commemorates the March 3rd, 1973 signing of CITES, an international treaty between 183 nations that regulates trade in endangered species. Tigers, along with so many other animals, hang on the brink of extinction—if we don’t act, some of the planet’s most iconic wildlife will disappear on our watch, Each of the remaining six tiger subspecies are endangered—and together, there are only about 3,800 wild tigers left. The biggest threat they face is from poaching for a luxury trade in tiger products largely in China, particularly for tiger skin home decor and tiger bone wine (made by soaking a tiger skeleton in rice wine). Commercial tiger breeding operations fan a growing black market trade in these items: tigers are farmed like pigs and chickens in China, Thailand, Vietnam and Laos—feeding tigers into the illegal international trade. This market puts a price on the head of every remaining wild tiger. Right now, China holds the fate of wild tigers in its hands: a list is currently being drawn up by the central State Forestry Administration (SFA) which will decide which protected wildlife species can be traded commercially within China.If tigers are included on that list, they will be poached into extinction: wild tigers are worth more than captive tigers.
The fate of other big cats like lions, leopards, cheetah and snow leopards are all in trouble for similar reasons.
