The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious They are endangered because poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory
At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for elephant ivory, which
is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere
"Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the illegal ivory trade," Ginette Hemley, Fund's vice president for species conservation, told The Washington Post in
September And so our message is, 'Don't buy it, and don't take that chance'."
A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between 1995 and
2002 Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions; the report said
As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever in traditional medicine Even tiger's whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a good-luck charm - like a rabbit's foot in the United States "Part of our job is education," said Professor Dillon "The other part is law enforcement So we have more than one strategy."

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which 'once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of
extinction Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world's ecosystem International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival - and the survival of our planet
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend
on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species This has' had some effect, but by itself It will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed
