because poachers hunt them for their skin
Habitat destruction and poaching, mostly to supply the Chinese market for aphrodesiacs and "medicines". Examples are tiger penis soup and various concoctions containing ground-up tiger bones. These irrational and ridiculous beliefs are widespread in China, and as creatures become rarer and more endangered, they become even more sought after.

∙ 12y agoTigers are critically endangered species. For decades man has hunted down Tigers for sport and for its skin and body parts. This has reduced the tiger number from sever hundred thousands to a few thousand worldwide. Though there were wide spread in many countries in Asia, they are now present only in isolated pockets of jungles in India, Tibet and Russia.
Poaching is the biggest threat to Tiger populations in India.
