Tigers
Asian Wildlife Trade Species Information Page
The largest cat of all, the tiger is a powerful symbol among the different cultures that share its home. Commercial poaching, a declining prey base due to over-hunting, and loss of habitat are the principal threats to the tiger. Tigers have always been hunted for decorative items and for use in traditional Asian medicines.
