This is a few days late, I know. I just had to share this infographic - a LOT of food for thought!
Global Tiger Day, not to be confused with World Tiger Day later this year, is a day specifically aimed at raising awareness for the plight of tigers, specifically from major NGO groups like WWF and Traffic. I too, however, am guilty of confusing the two holidays, so don't despair! There are dozens of purpose-created holidays that help get attention.
Consider this:
The top estimate for world tiger populations is 3200.
Just under half of the 3200 must have been killed in order to supply seizures.
This includes only official seizures.
In a good year, law officials catch around 20-30% of trafficked goods.
How many tigers are there actually left??
