Credited by WWF: White tigers are at a low point, with a possible of only 3,2000 remaining the in the wild.
There are more tigers in captivity then in the wild currently. This seems the backward of where humanity is trying to go. According to WWF the numbers of white tigers have fallen from 95% since the 20th century. Also, dwon from 100,000 to a possible 4,000. It is hard to get accurate percentages because you cannot account for every
tiger and every species.
There have already been:
three subspecies – Bali, Javan and Caspian tigers – were extinct by the 1980s.
A new species disappears every month.
"Even in India, the species' stronghold, a recent government census suggests there may be as few as 1,400 tigers left (WWF).
(To the left are some of the subspecies that survive today.)
SUBSPECIES POPULATIONS
If the wild tiger population continues to decline at the current rate, recovery may not be possible.
