Tigers in Crisis


Tigers in Crisis is actually more than one website. It is a series of websites about endangered tigers.

The current websites include:
I’ll be describing each of these in more detail over the next few days.
And, I will be adding more websites over the next few months / year.
However, of all these websites, Tigers in Crisis is the ‘core’ tiger website. It’s where the most important reference material about tigers can be found.

The site currently includes ‘snapshots’ of the living endangered tigers (Bengal, Indochinese, Malayan (coming), Siberian, South China and Sumatran) and soon, snapshots of the extinct tigers.
The Tigers in Crisis website also has a number of sections related to both the problems tigers face (habitat loss, trade in tiger parts, traditional Chinese medicine and politics and money) and some of the possible solutions that may help keep tigers from becoming extinct (habitat protection, alternative medicines and laws and support).
It is the information in these sections of the site that I plan to spend a great deal of time on. It’s this information where the fate of tigers will be told.  
The Resource section will also be expanded over the next year. The goal is to include more information from the countries where tigers live.
TOMORROW: a Tiger Journal
