Reading Comprehension
The Endangered Tiger
Some studies show that a century ago, 50,000-80,000 tigers may have lived
in India alone. Sadly, though, there are fewer than 8,000 wild tigers left in
the world today, mostly because of tiger hunting. Tigers are so highly
endangered that they may soon become extinct in the wild.
Tiger hunting is now completely illegal everywhere and this includes the
international trade of tigers and tiger products. But the tiger's survival is
still threatened, mainly because its habitats are being destroyed by man and
also because there is a big demand for tiger parts, especially in Asia.
Unfortunately, illegal tiger trade is very profitable. Many Asian countries use
tiger parts for traditional medicines to cure diseases. Tiger bone, for
example, is used to reduce pain and many Asian cultures believe it makes
human bones stronger. Tiger bone is also very expensive. It can sell for $75-
$115 per pound, which is more money than some people in Asia make in a year.
24

In the '70s, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) began a programme called
Operation Tiger. However, it was India who led the world in efforts to save
the tiger. Project Tiger was started by the government of India in 1972 to
save the endangered tiger species in the country. Today, more than 37,000
km2 are covered by these project tiger areas where guards protect the area
and try to stop tiger hunters. Fortunately, there is still hope for the tiger.
We can support an environmental group that looks after tigers, like the
Environment Agency. By working together. We can protect tigers and their
habitats from the danger of disappearing forever.
Answer the following questions:

1. How many tigers were there in India a hundred years ago?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
2. Why are tigers still at risk?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
