SAve my MOM & Dad! Or in a few years you have to see me only in 2D not in real life 3D. Save tigers. Tigers are one such species that require a large amount of space to roam. Tigers serve as an umbrella species for much of the biodiversity in the Western Ghats. Efforts to insure that tigers have a functioning habitat to survive at the top of the food change require understanding and protecting large geographic areas in which innumerable species coexist.A connected landscape has far more ecological benefit that the same amount of land broken up as isolated islands as many species require large areas to forage and disperse. Three tiger subspecies are already extinct, and a fourth is on its way In the past century, the world has lost three of the nine tiger subspecies. The Bali, Caspian, and Javan tigers have all become extinct ... and many scientists believe the South China tiger is “functionally extinct”.
