According to recent counts, the South China tiger is already probably extinct in the wild. However about 50 tigers of this subspecies survive in zoos and there is at least one program preparing captive-born South China tigers and their offspring for reintroduction.

When will all tigers go extinct?

Tigers will become extinct in less than 10 years if they don't get the help they need. Bengal tigers have increased from 2,000 to 5,000, but they are still endangered. The South China Tiger has 30 to 80 individual pairs left. They REALLY need help! White tigers are probably the most vulnerable of all tigers. Their coloring makes it hard to camouflage, and when people spot them, they are likely killed or captured or put in a zoo. Likely after this review, you will see how tigers are among the most endangered of all big cats. There are organizations like World Wildlife Fund where you can help this beautiful animal. Remember, a tiger will only harm you, if you harm them.
