The Tiger's Plight


Tiger Distribution Throughout the World

     The population figures given have been gathered from a vast amount of sources in tiger range countries. Though counting tigers is difficult, due to their dense forest habitation, these figures provide a reasonable indication of the world's population of tigers to be around 5015. From this total, there is estimated to be 20 South China, 415 Siberian, 400 Sumatran, 1180 Indo Chinese and 3000 Bengal tigers in existence.
