Tigers (Panthera tigris), primarily became endangered due to human exploitation and habitat destruction. Poaching has been a long-term issue with tigers due to their beautiful skins and the high price that can be brought on the black market from pelts, bones, parts, etc.

As with most large animals, habitat degradation and fragmentation is generally considered the primary cause.
