Tigers Face Extinction: Poaching, massive decline in habitat to blame

Wild tigers could become extinct in 12 years if more action isn’t taken, according to global wildlife experts.

The World Wildlife Fund says only about 3,200 tigers remain in the wild, down from an estimated 100,000 a century ago.

Sybille Klenzendorf, director of the species conservation program at the World Wildlife Fund, talks with AM’s Kiran Chetry this morning. She explains how fast the numbers are falling and what humans can do to help.
