"Despite campaign, tigers dwindling" by Associated Press | October 28, 2009

KATMANDU, Nepal - The world’s tiger population is declining fast despite efforts to save them, and new strategies are urgently needed to keep the species from dying out, international wildlife specialists said yesterday....

An estimated 3,500 to 4,000 tigers now roam the world’s forests, down from the more than 100,000 estimated at the beginning of the 20th century. All the remaining tigers are in Asia.

In a recent case, a Sumatran tiger died after being caught in a pig snare last week in Indonesia, the country’s news agency, Antara, reported Monday.

It AMAZES me how QUICKLY the earthquakes, landslides, and floods were FORGOTTEN by the MSM!

Oh, things are returning to normal, are they?

The report said the tiger died as it was being prepared for surgery Monday. Only about 250 Sumatran tigers remain in the wild. “Despite our efforts in the last three decades, tigers still face threats of survival. The primary threat is from poaching and habitat loss,’’ Nepal’s prime minister, Madhav Kumar Nepal, told the conference. He said extreme poverty has also challenged efforts....

I don't get it; banks don't seem to be too poor right now.

The 13 countries where wild tigers are still found include Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Russia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
