The conservation(保护) group said tiger numbers have decreased(减少) 95 percent in the past century and only 5000~7200 tigers still remain in the wild-compared with nearly ten times that many at the start of the century.
WWF published an update (更新的信息)Feb.11,1999 of their study-Wanted Alive:Tigers in the Wild,marking the end of the Chinese Year of the Tiger.
The report states that in spite of the great efforts over the past year,much remains to be done to prevent the tiger from becoming extinct early next century.If governments do not fight against unlawful hunting and get rid of demand for tiger products the tiger will go to extinction,says WWF.
"We cannot relax for one moment if we are to make it certain that tigers will still exist in the wild by the next Chinese Year of the Tiger in 2010," said Elizabeth Kemt,species conservation information manager at WWF International and one of the authors of the report.
