Endangered Animals

Extricate The Lives Of Tigers 

Yesterday, I had a visit to the zoo in our city, Yangon, since I haven’t been there for quite a long time. While I was looking around, I noticed that there were fewer animals than before. I came across a zookeeper so I asked him why the number of animals decreased. He said, “In the natural world, limiting factors like the availability of food, water, shelter, and space can change animal and plant populations. Other limiting factors, like competition for resources and diseases also impact populations.” Even though there are lots of endangered animals, tigers are predicted all to become extinct in the wild within the next decade.

  

In zoos, zoologists and researchers study tigers and share what they know to people. In every place tigers live, they're endangered, or at risk of disappearing from the wild. The reasons are complicated, but most people are trying to save as many tigers as they can. The most common reason is that there are illegal hunters, who kill tigers and sell their body parts to people who think they look stronger, richer and more powerful with the tigers’ parts. Tigers live in countries such as Myanmar, India, Russia, China and Malaysia, since these countries are growing very quickly, and people need the valuable tigers. And when people want to build farms, make more cities in tiger habitats, the tigers lose their space. Without enough habitat, it's very hard for tigers to find enough food.

So, how can we help them from getting extinct? The first thing we can do is create awareness among people. We can increase the attention to “Save Tigers” by creating leaflets, ads, advertising the cause on internet websites and many more. Secondly, to preserve the tigers we must stop the poaching. Even when the government has banned the selling of animals’ bodies, poaching, however, is still going on. We all will have to stop this unlawful act.

Tigers are rare and precious. Saving tigers is not only the duty for humans but also our responsibility. We have to support the government in its projects for the protection of the tigers and all the animals, so that a healthy population of the them exists. We all understand that when we ask something from someone or something, we must be ready to give something back. If nature is responsible for our existence, we must take responsibility for its existence as well.
