Some tigers are at risk of going extinct because their natural habitat is being destroyed by logging and other development. The primary reason Bengal tigers are going extinct is due to human activities such as woodcutting. This has greatly reduced the Bengal tigers' natural habitat, putting them in danger. In other words, Bengal Tigers that need a specific type of environment or prey to survive often become endangered when that appropriate habitat is no longer available for them - giving way to farmers and developers taking it away from them. In some areas, the Bengal Tiger populations have decreased by an alarming 95% over the last hundred years! Scientists believe there may not be any more than 1,400 Bengal Tigers remaining in the wild.
