The future for tigers looks dismal. Poaching and habitat-loss threaten the last remaining tigers in the wild.
"If there isn’t an incentive to make live tigers worth more than dead tigers, we’ll lose tigers,” says John Seidensticker. He is a conservation biologist at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in Washington D.C. and is an adviser for the Global Tiger Initiative.
Seindesticker is also the guest in our latest World Science Forum.
