SAVING THE BENGAL TIGER

POACHING

• The tigers are covered in valuable, beautiful fur.
• Poachers like shown in the background kill the tigers then sell their fur.
• The distribution of the fur is a very rewarding business.
• However, too many people are involved in the business and are OVERKILLING the Bengal Tiger.

POACHING (CONT.)

• All the parts of the Bengal tiger after it is stripped can make for a $30,000 payday.
• There are rich people from around the world, including the U.S he kill the Bengal Tiger as a trophy
• People also buy the fur to wear.

DEFORESTATION

• Humans are developing homes, public places, etc. on the tiger's habitat.
• The more the habitat decreases the less the Tigers can hunt because the prey are also leaving or dying.
• People are stripping the land that the Tigers used to flourish on.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER TO PEOPLE IN AMERICA?

• First off,Tigers control the other animal's population .
• Without the Bengal Tiger other animals would become overpopulated.
• If other animals overpopulate natural resources such as food and water for the natives would diminish slowly.
• Also the more other animals the more disease occurs.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER TO PEOPLE IN AMERICA?

• As I left off I stated the increase of disease and decrease of vital resources.
• If the natives of India were to become overwhelmed with such problems America would have to dish out millions of task payer's money to help.
• People in America HATE taxes, right?
• It is all a chain reaction .

THE SOLUTION

• There would need to be a little bit of spending.
• The government would have to create reserves for the Tigers.
• Then as the Tigers show a steady increase, they could be brought back to their natural habitat.
• It was a plan started back in 1972 but it wasn't followed through.
• We can also avoid products like palm oil which comes from resources of the Bengal Tiger's habitat.
• There are companies that strip the land for these products, so avoid them at all cost.

THE PLAN

• Educate others and spread the word.
• RAISE AWARENESS
• Donate
• MAKE A CHANGE IN ACTIONS.
