| Description: | Joseph Smith presents unique insights into the front-line struggles of tiger conservation, and reveals some of the secrets of the work that is being done to protect the Tiger.
As recently as one hundred years ago, more than 100,000 wild tigers (Panthera tigris) roamed the forests and grasslands of Asia.Today, less than 3,500 tigers remain, occupying just 7% of their historic range. With the threats posed by hunting, climate change, and habitat loss, the future for wild tigers appears bleak and is wrought with challenges, yet hope still remains. Smith presents unique insights into the front-line struggles of tiger conservation, and reveals some of the secrets of the work that is being done to protect the tiger. |
