How can humans help Sumatran tigers survive?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Sumatran tiger is endangered primarily due to habitat loss and poaching.

Much of the habitat loss in Sumatra and Borneo is caused by rapidly expanding palm oil plantations, which is caused by a rapidly increasing demand for palm oil. Thus, boycotting palm oil unless it is from a sustainable source will help to preserve habitat not only for tigers, but for animals like orangutans, elephants, and rhinoceroses, to name a few.

As for poaching, various conservation organizations work to eliminate it. Donating to such causes can be beneficial to stopping this illegal hunting.

Female tigers need to be physically stimulated by the male in order for their egg to be released. This is crazy WE need to let them live
