Question: As forests in the world are being logged, many animals face extunction. Identify one such animal, for example, the tiger in India, and explain what measures might be adopted so that it could be saved from extinction.
Review buddy: Serene
Forests, which are main habitats of terrestrial animals, are being damaged more and more rapidly and execrably to meet the requests of logging, so that a number of animals are facing extinction due to losing habitats. Northeast tiger, living in the northeast part of China and being famous for their fur with extraordinary high commercial value, is one of those unfortunate species, remaining only 360 to 406 wild ones. To solve the problem, I think, the two measures following may work.
First, government can control the amount of logging with policies. Limiting lignum trade by raising tax, demarcating certain areas of logging, and encourage people to plant trees may all be feasible ways. With the guarantee of habitats, the situation of northeast tiger's survival may be ameliorated efficiently.In addition, protecting the other animals in the forests is also an important step. As the balance of the whole ecosystem is related to each element in it, every part cannot be ignored. All the creatures in a certain area build a close circle, food chain, where if one tach breaks, the whole cycle breaks down. Northeast tiger of course is within the food chain and needs the other animals’ support to live. Thus, protecting the other animals is though indirect but essential step that should be taken considering in the long term.

The tiger is one of my favorite creatures. You do a good job here of showing how unfair humans are in taking away the life space of the Earth's other inhabitants.
I think enforcement in beating the illegal animal market is an essential way since the illegal haunting do contribute a lot in the decreasing of tiger.
the "zhou tiger" drew the attention of the whold China, even the whold world to the extincting species. i really hope that this will enhance people's awareness about how improtant it is to protect the tigers.
Hi Xue Jie,
I agree with you that both the government and protecting of the other animals would play a huge role in preventing those tigers from extinction.
Furthermore, I also believe that everyone should also play a part in helping too... Only like that, would those poor tigers escape the fate of extinction.
Nice reading your post=)
