Tigers are threatened by poachers who are driven by the global demand for their bones and parts used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Local hunters also poach tigers to eliminate competition for native deer and wild boar.
WCS is attempting to turn these confrontations into cooperative efforts by linking local and international hunters to the value of a tiger lives.
