據一篇20日發表的研究報告內容，全世界的野生老虎在過去10年間已失去了40%的棲地，且急需受到更好的保護。報告中指出，這種地球上最大型的貓科動物，如今活動的範圍只剩下過去的7%，且多為破碎而貧瘠的土地。該報告又建議成立野生動物走廊的保育策略，來聯結各個重要的棲地，確保老虎生存。報告內容詳見 http://www.tigermaps.org。
Tiger Landscapes: New Strategy May Stave Off Extinction
Wild tigers have lost 40 percent of their habitat in the past decade and the species is in dire need of better protection, according to a new study released Thursday. Earth's largest wild cats now occupy only seven percent of their historic range and their remaining habitat is increasingly fragmented and degraded. The report recommends a conservation strategy to protect "tiger landscapes" where core habitat areas are linked with wildlife corridors.
