In the 1940s the Amur tiger was on the brink of extinction, with no more than 40 tigers remaining in the wild. Thanks to vigorous anti-poaching and other conservation efforts by the Russians with support from many partners, including WWF, the Amur tiger population recovered and has remained stable throughout the last decade or so.
But poaching of tigers and its prey, increased logging and construction of roads, forest fires and inadequate law enforcement are threats that affect the survival of the species.
WWF, in partnership with Russian authorities and other NGOs, is helping establish an ecological network of protected areas (Econet) to secure well-connected habitat for the Amur tiger, funds anti-poaching patrols in the Russian Far East and supports an ungulate recovery programme. WWF is collaborating with the Russian authorities and other partners in the recent survey of Amur tigers.
The latest figures on the Siberian tiger show the animal has rebounded to a population of nearly 600.
people think that tigers are a danger so they kill them off
Siberian Tigers are endangered for a few reasons:
- Illegal poaching for illegal tiger meat
- Illegal poaching for fur
- Illegal poaching for body parts used in (fake) medicine
- Habitat loss due to modernisation and human expansion
- Habitat loss due to agriculture
- Habitat loss due to logging
people killed them, especially the people in villages who were scared they would eat them. they are now working out ways to keep themselves and the tigers protected.
The tigers where viewed as trophies
Some parts of the tiger was used in traditional meals
because they are increasing human population , and for that reason their habitat is being destroyed

∙ 13y agoLoss of habitat to humans coupled with mindless hunting in 19th and early 20th century. Also they are confined in a small region in Siberian so here is a lot of fights over terriory between adults.

∙ 11y ago- One reason is because of poaching which is hunting and killing of these beautiful creatures.
- Another reason is because of habitat loss and deforestation.
- Thirdly is because us humans compete with Siberian tigers for food causing them to look elsewhere for food leading them to turn to domestic animals and humans instead.

∙ 12y agoThey are in danger of extinction because they have beautiful fur, and, apparently, some people think that drinking tiger blood is "strengthening". Their habitats are also being destroyed and since Siberian tigers require a large range over which to hunt, they are doubly affected in that less of their prey survives (less food for the prey because of less foliage) and that tiger territories overlap more provoking more intraspecial confrontation (i.e. tigers fighting tigers).

∙ 6y agoSiberian tigers are endangered, with less than 500 in the wild. And, white tigers are Bengal tiger color morphs, not Siberian. Bengal tigers are endangered, too, so by proxy white Bengal tigers would be included in that listing.
According to biologists white tigers are NOT recognized as a separate species, as it's a rare, but naturally occurring mutation in their pigmentation. OF course, with fewer tigers overall, there'll be less white tigers. Most commonly - or least rarely - found among Bengal tigers. So I suppose it could (and have) happened among the other tiger species as well. And since white tigers aren't a separate species, they can't be specifically listed as endangered. As long as there are tigers, every now and then there will be white tigers.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoOverhunting, deforestation, poaching for body parts, used in fake medicines.

∙ 14y agoPoaching and habitat loss reduced the numbers, but the Siberians have made a comeback, ad the last cencus showed nearly 600 left in the wild.
