How not to save the tiger
How not to save the tiger Eric Dinerstein, chief scientist with the World
Wildlife Fund (WWF), says that the traditional methods used in
trying to preserve tiger populations are not effective and need to
be changed if wild populations of tigers are to survive. Scientists

of the 5 different tiger species found across Asia. Dr Dinerstein
suggests that conservationists should concentrate on boosting only
the strongest populations of tigers and their habitats. 15 AUGUST 1998, P. 12
