About the Cover
For 25 years, the tiger (Panthera
tigris) has been on Appendix I
of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
Fauna and Flora (CITES), but an illegal trade in tiger skins and bones
(which are used in traditional Chinese medicines) persists. Roughly
5,000 to 7,000 tigers have survived to the new millennium. Without
heightened vigilance to stop habitat destruction, poaching and illegal
commercialization of tiger parts in consuming countries across the
globe, the tiger may be lost forever. Tiger
