The Indochinese Tiger

The Indochinese tiger (scientific name panthera tigris corbetti) is a subspecies of tiger that inhabits the dry forests and the tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests of the Greater Mekong. It grows, on average, 9 feet long, and it can weigh between 396 and 550 pounds.

The Indochinese tiger is classified as an Endangered species. It is this close to becoming extinct for two reasons. The first reason is that its habitat is being converted into roads, mines, plantations, and hydropower plants. Because of this, one of the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF's) efforts to save it consists of working to improve habitat conditions for both it and the species it eats and seeking the protection of it in the parts of its habitat where it is still not protected. The second reason is that it is being poached for its meat, as demand for it has been growing among owners of restaurants, and its body parts, as demand for them and the products that can be made from them has been growing among makers of folk remedies and traditional medicines. Because of this, another one of the WWF's efforts to save it consists of working to enforce a zero tolerance policy for the poaching of it throughout Asia. All of this is being done because maintaining its habitat directly benefits many other species that are important to the world, such as wild cattle, endemic deer, Asian elephants, and Asiatic black bears.
