Human impact on the Sumatran rainforests, such as deforestation and poaching, has greatly affected the Sunda Tiger's population and the overall biodiversity of the region. This project explores the threats to the Sunda Tiger, the consequences of its potential extinction, and proposes a solution to address the issue.]]> 2023-05-03 15:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rjabaya2022/sv2uqhi8a6tp4tvl/wish/2576926060 rjabaya2022 https://padlet.com/rjabaya2022/sv2uqhi8a6tp4tvl/wish/2576927173 2023-05-03 15:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rjabaya2022/sv2uqhi8a6tp4tvl/wish/2576927173 rjabaya2022 https://padlet.com/rjabaya2022/sv2uqhi8a6tp4tvl/wish/2576931678 IUCN Red List Status: Critically Endangered

Threats: Deforestation, habitat fragmentation, poaching, and human-tiger conflict

Hypothesis:
If the Sunda Tiger goes extinct, the local ecosystem will suffer from the loss of a key predator, leading to overpopulation of prey species, increased competition for resources, and a subsequent decline in overall biodiversity.]]> 2023-05-03 15:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rjabaya2022/sv2uqhi8a6tp4tvl/wish/2576931678 rjabaya2022 https://padlet.com/rjabaya2022/sv2uqhi8a6tp4tvl/wish/2576934821 Tropical Rainforests:

-Poaching for tiger bones, skin, and other body parts for traditional medicine and luxury goods
-Human-tiger conflict as a result of habitat loss and fragmentation

Solution:
Implement a multi-pronged approach, including habitat restoration, anti-poaching measures, and community-based conservation initiatives that promote coexistence between humans and tigers.
