Yes. Ancient Chinese Medicine believes that Tigers body parts have medicinal properties. Because of this Tigers were killed extensively and indiscriminately. Because of this, they were pushed to near extinction. India, China and all neighboring countries where the Bengal Tiger lives have banned hunting and so, the tiger population is slowly recovering
Even though, there is a ban on hunting tigers, poachers kill tigers once in a while. Atleast 10 to 15 tigers get killed annually due to poachers.
