Indian tiger population continues to drop

I’m tempted to say, “…like a falling cat.” But that would be just gallows humor.

The Guardian has the article:

• In five years, the tiger population has fallen to 1,400, less than half the previous estimate.
• Poachers have wiped out the tigers in some reserves.
• Other reserves suffer from habitat destruction as villages crowd forests.
• Experts say that not enough is being done to fight poachers.
• Laws against selling tiges’ body parts are being openly flouted.
• In a few years it will be too late.
