These powerful cats can be found in Southeast and East China. They can also be found all over India. After 3 of the species became extinct, their government made a law stating that people can not kill tigers. Still, that hasn’t stopped people from shooting these mammals. Another reason why the tiger population is still declining is that they live in forests. Many people every year cut down thousands of trees in the forests that they live in. Since they cut down the forests that they live in, the tigers have no place to live, or they wander around and usually will come across humans who will kill them. Zoos have started raising tigers and now their population is slowly going up.
