Description:
A comprehensive scientific study of tiger habitats finds that the big cats reside in 40 percent less habitat than they were thought to a decade ago. Tigers now occupy only 7 percent of their historic range. This landmark study, Setting Priorities for Conservation and Recovery of Wild Tigers: 2005-2015, commissioned by the Save The Tiger Fund and produced by some of the world's leading tiger scientists at World Wildlife Fund, Wildlife Conservation Society, the Smithsonian's National Zoological Park and Save The Tiger Fund, calls for specific international actions to safeguard remaining populations. This dataset shows large areas of habitat in the extirpated portion of the tiger's range, including China, Central Asia, and the Indonesian islands of Java and Bali. Landscapes are identified where extirpation is known to have occurred within the last 20 years.
