Where have all the tigers gone? India's Sariska Project Tiger Reserve,once home to 26 tigers, is now home to none. The government has ordered the police to find out the truth, and organize a new police group to save the tigers.
Half of the world's tigers live in India. For years, tigers have been disappearing from India's national parks. On Thursday, the first meeting of forest officials was held to make a plan to keep the nation's remaining tigers safe. It is not hard to guess why the tigers are disappearing. "Indian tiger poaching(偷猎)is probably the biggest cause for the disappearing of tigers."said Belinda Wright,the head of the Wildlife Protection Society of India.
It seems difficult to stop tiger poaching. Why? First of all,tigers are so popular and expensive in black market that they become the best choice of the poachers. For example,Poachers can sell a tiger at $50,000. Tiger skin and bones are favoured in Chinese medicine. A single tiger tooth can cost $120. Recently ,a group of poachers admitted killing 12 tigers in Sariska and they got a great amount of money. Even though they were put into prison finally,a lot more people will continue this trade. Second, many poachers use night glasses and powerful guns while forest guards only have their hands. Even if a guard finds a poacher,he can only use a stick. What's worse,the forest guards are paid poorly so few of them are willing to catch the poachers.
I hope that the new plan will stop the poachers and save the endangered animals.
