SAVING THE BENGAL TIGER

LOCATIONS

• Found primarily in India
• Some found in:
• Bhutan
• China
• Nepal
• Bangladesh
• Myanmar

FROM

• Found in Mangrove forests
• Vital link in maintaining rich diversity of nature
• Habitats are grasslands, subtropical rainforests, and tropical rainforests

FACTS

• Fewer than 2,500 left in the wild
• 4,955 total in captivity
• About 7,500 altogether

POACHING (CONT.)

• stripped Bengals can make for a $30,000 payday
• rich people often kill Bengal Tigers as a trophy
• People kill for the fur
• People buy fur

POACHING

• The Tigers are covered in valuable, beautiful fur
• The distribution of fur is a rewarding business
• Rich people by the fur for wearing or decorative purpose

DEFORESTATION

• The more the habitat decreases the less the Tigers can hunt
• the prey are also leaving or dying
• It causes chain reaction

WHY DOES THIS MATTER TO PEOPLE IN AMERICA?

• First off,Tigers control the other animal's population .
• Without the Bengal Tiger other animals would become overpopulated.
• If other animals overpopulate natural resources such as food and water for the natives would diminish slowly.
• Also the more other animals the more disease occurs.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER TO PEOPLE IN AMERICA?

• As I left off I stated the increase of disease and decrease of vital resources.
• If the natives of India were to become overwhelmed with such problems America would have to dish out millions of task payer's money to help.
• People in America HATE taxes, right?
• It is all a chain reaction .

THE SOLUTION

• There would need to be a little bit of spending
• The government would have to create reserves for the Tigers
• Then as the Tigers show a steady increase, they could be brought back to their natural habitat
• It was a plan started back in 1972 but it wasn't followed through
• We can also avoid products like palm oil which comes from resources of the Bengal Tiger's habitat
• There are companies that strip the land for these products, so avoid them at all cost

THE PLAN

• Educate others and spread the word.
• RAISE AWARENESS
• Donate
• MAKE A CHANGE IN ACTIONS
