The number of Bengal tigers surviving in the wild today is estimated to be around 4000, a 95-percent reduction in population compared to the beginning of this century. Amazingly, according to the WWF (formely known as the World Wildlife Fund), the endangered Bengal is still the most populous of all tigers. So basically tigers are having a pretty hard time all the way around due to loss of habitat and poaching. Want to help save them? Donate to the WWF or The David Shepard Wildlife Foundation, pass on buying those Bengal tiger fur-lined slippers, or even "adopt" a wild tiger through The Tiger Foundation. Otherwise, some day the only Bengals left may be like this "tiger" at FAO Schwarz, and it cost 350 bucks.
