Endangered/Invasive: The Bengal Tiger only has one predator, and that is man. For centuries tigers have been hunted for their skin and bones. Ancient middle eastern customs believe that the organs and parts of a tiger hold medicinal qualities and hunts them for this purpose. Also, tiger hunting also became very popular as a sport and tradition among royal Indian families, and soon British people took on the tradition. Because of this in the early 1970's, two Tiger subspecies went extinct. People should be concerned about this because of many reasons. One is that Tigers are a natural populous control for species that come in great numbers. Another is that the earth needs to be left the way we originally had it, and at this rate more and more species will go extinct until there is nothing left. It's a chain reaction of man wanting more. If it could stop with the Tiger, than many other species will live. There are many things we can do to stop the problem.
Problem Solving:
There are many different organizations around the globe fighting to help protect Bengal tigers. All the way from zoos, to institutions, to natural wildlife forests that are protected (wildlife reserves) and people that keep them in personal sanctuaries. Things like National Geographic, WWF, and the Milwaukee zoo are all examples of ways to help. Another large way to prevent this problem is spreading the word. People can't help if they don't know what's happening.
