KUALA LUMPUR: The first IUCN Green Status of Species assessment for the tiger (Panthera tigris) finds that the world's largest cat is critically depleted after a century of population decline, but also shows that conservation provides hope for recovery of tigers across their range.
Led by scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in collaboration with WWF, Panthera and other partners under the auspices of the IUCN Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC) Cat Specialist Group, the assessment is the most comprehensive evaluation yet of tiger recovery potential.
