THERE are many reasons causing the dwindling of the Malayan tiger population in Malaysia but the fact remains that there are only about 150 tigers in our country’s jungles and they are about to go extinct.

The death of species takes place every day and that is a fact of life. However, many scientists believe the current rate of species extinction is faster than before.
