Why do Bengal tigers are endangered?

THE BENGAL TIGER, DIES A VICTIM OF POACHING, ENVIROMENTAL CHANGES A POPULATION FRAGMETATION.The tiger's enemies are many and powerful. Although it is illegal to kill a tiger, poaching continues to claim the lives of hundreds of copies every year. Their bodies are dismembered and bones, whiskers and teeth are sold on the black market for large sums of money. Many of the bodies they are intended to preparations of traditional Chinese medicine, for which the tiger has special healing powers.Another problem for the survival of a big cat is the deterioration of natural habitat where he has lived for centuries.In Asia, due to deforestation, tigers can not find the space they need to live, hunt and breed. As a result, often attack nearby farms, destroying the livelihoods of those living in them, and sometimes people mismas.Los groups are separated by the effects of urbanization and reproduction is limited to the same male and female small herds, leading generations of puppies with birth defects or mutations that prevent them from reaching adulthood.Experts warn that, once extinct, it would be impossible to restore the species in its natural habitat for their complex biology.
