As of the year 2000, the AZA (Association of zoos and aquariums) released the species survival plan for all of the tiger species.
According to this link below, there are about 400-500 sumatran tigers left in the wild. They reside only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Some people may ask why can't zoos use artificial insemination on the tigers that they house within their zoos. 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

∙ 7y agoThere are under 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild. The number is still decreasing as time goes on. It is probably around 350 now.
The Sumatran tiger is a critically endangered subspecies of tiger native to the Indonesian Island of Sumatra. About 20 years ago, there were approximately 500 wild Sumatran tigers in the wild. However, due to the destruction of their natural habitat, poaching, and being hunted for the mauling of people in the area, these rare tigers have been reduced to even smaller numbers. Scientists speculate that today there may be as little as 400 of these animals in the wild. Recent conservation efforts have been put into effect by the Indonesian government and other foundations to help to protect these wild animals and help them increase to more steady, self-sustaining numbers.
