At the beginning of this century it is estimated that there were 100000 wild tigers with 8 different subspecies in the wild. Today there are only 5 remaining and their number is less than 8000 living across Asia in the wild.
The Bali, Caspian, and Javan tigers have become extinct in the last 70 years.
Bali tiger: extinct in the 1930s
Caspian tiger: extinct in the 1970s
Javan tiger: extinct in the 1980s
Today all subspecies except the Bengal Tiger are below the threshold of 2000 characters, which means that the specie is in danger of extinction.
