Description
The Sumatran Tiger is considered to be Critically Endangered, with number as low as 400. The two major threats to the survival of the Sumatran Tiger are habitat destruction and poaching. The rapid agricultural growth on the island of Sumatra, particularly for oil palm plantations and timber has reduced the area of habitat available to the tiger and the encroachment by villages has increased the contact and conflict between the tiger and humans. Sadly, Tigers are illegally poached to support the trade in tiger products, including their body parts for use in traditional medicine and their pelts as trophies.
