Call for conservation steps to double number of tigers
WWF said there were as few as 3,200 tigers in the wild, the lowest number since records began, with the animal under threat from hunting and a loss of its habitat.
In the Chinese Year of the Tiger, WWF is calling on governments in countries where the big cats are found to fulfil their commitment to double tiger numbers by 2022, the next Year of the Tiger.
