White tigers are not a distinct subspecies but are a genetic mutation of the Bengal tiger. Their white coloration results from a recessive gene, which makes them rare in the wild. While their population has dwindled due to habitat loss and poaching, some may still exist in remote areas where they can evade human contact. However, most white tigers are found in captivity, as the mutation is not advantageous for survival in the wild.

Technically, white tigers are not a species. White tigers are just a rare color variation of tigers.

However, humans find them beatiful, so they continue to inbreed the few white tigers that are in captivity.A better cause than trying to save the white tiger is to save tigers in the wild. One great organization for this is the World Wildlife Fund.
