When will tiger become extinct if they deplete at the current rate?

Answer 1

Look at the Project Tiger article in Wikipedia. There were 1827 tigers in 1972 and there are 1411 tigers in 2007.

By mathematics:

Tigers depleted in 35 yrs: 416

Tigers depleted in 1 year: 416/35=12 (approximately)

To deplete 12 tigers: 1 yr

To deplete 1 tiger: 1/12 yr

To deplete 1411 tigers: 1411/12 yrs=117 yrs(approx)

So if tigers deplete at the current rate, they will be extinct in 2124 AD.

NOTE: This is just an estimate. If we continue our cruel deeds, all living creatures may become extinct very soon.

The above answers is based on Mathematics and cannot be considered as accurate. If we compare 2006 & 2010, the tiger population has increased from 1411 to 1706, but if we consider from 1972 to 2010, the tiger population has decreased. So are tigers increasing or depleting??

Increase or decrease depends upon us, the human race. We have power over every other creature, and we are only responsible for killing them. We cannot make them reproduce, let us stop our killing and let them reproduce on their own. Why should we interfere in the laws of nature.

And for your question, the tigers will go extinct tomorrow if we cut all the trees. The tigers will go extinct after mankind if we protect them. It all depends upon us and not the "rate" at which they are depleting.
