More than 2,300 endangered tigers have been killed and illegally trafficked between 2000 and 2018, according to wildlife trade experts who are urging more action to protect the giant cats
Berani, an endangered Sumatran tiger, is shown at the Miami-Dade Zoological Park and Gardens on January 29, 2016, in Miami.
Since then, population numbers have inched upwards, but there are still estimated to be fewer than 3,900 tigers left in the wild. Traffic, which campaigns to protect endangered animals and help governments catch those who trade in their parts, published a new analysis looking at 19-years of tiger seizure data from across the globe.
The tiger farm industry often argues the trade in captive animals helps to relieve the pressure on wild felines, but wildlife groups argue it reduces the stigma around buying the animals or their body parts and could create new markets for them.
