| Sumario: | People must decide whether they want to save wild tigers or consign them to memory. Although most people may imagine that tigers are thriving, all remaining subpopulations of tigers are in decline, and poaching, conflict, and competition with human populations have driven 3 of the 9 tiger subspecies that once thrived to extinction and 3 others to near extinction within the past 50 years. Most experts opine that sufficient political will on the part of key governments, such as China and India, is ultimately needed to ensure the persistence of the world's tigers. Consequently, people who want tigers to survive must somehow find a way to align human priorities and values in a way that ensures that the tide shifts and tigers become worth more to the world alive than dead.
