    The Bengal Tiger is listed as an endangered species by the IUCN Red List, with fewer than 2,500 remaining in the wild. Their range includes Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Bhutan. Poaching for traditional Chinese medicine and human-wildlife conflict as tigers compete for space and food with the millions of people living near the Bangladesh Sundarbans forest are currently the biggest threats to the species. Community programs aim to protect the Bengal Tiger through monitoring, education, and response teams to help avoid conflicts.

    Amazing Species: Bengal Tiger

    The Bengal Tiger, Panthera tigrisssp.tigris, is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is one of six sub-species of tiger still in existence today and its range runs through Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Bhutan. It has been estimated that there are now fewer than 2,500 Bengal Tigers left in the wild.

    Poaching is currently the biggest threat to all tiger species to meet the increasing demand for use of their body parts in Traditional Chinese Medicine. One of the last strongholds for the Bengal Tiger is the Bangladesh Sundarbans, a mangrove forest which has millions of people living on its edge and who are dependent on its resources. Human-wildlife conflict has resulted from people and tigers increasingly competing over living space and food, and tigers are often killed for hunting domestic livestock and straying into villages. Community campaigns, capacity building and tiger monitoring projects have been implemented to protect the Bengal Tiger. Local villagers can volunteer to join Tiger Response Teams to help scare stray tigers back into the forest unharmed. Improved protection, law enforcement and community awareness programmes are also needed to secure the future of this magnificent species.
    The production of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is made possible through the IUCN Red List Partnership.
