A STUDY ON THE LOSS OF BENGAL TIGER (Panthera tigris) IN FIVE YEARS (1996-2000) FROM BANGLADESH SUNDARBANS

摘要

The Bengal tiger is the flagship wildlife species of the Sundarbans, and is also the national animal of Bangladesh. The Sundarbans is the last home of the Bengal tigers within the territorial jurisdiction of Bangladesh. It is essential to minimize the killing of Bangl tigers either by the villagers or poachers. There is a need for strong action and commitment for the conservation of Bengal tigers, otherwise it will disappear like the rhinoceros, hog deer, and wild buffalo, which have all disappeared from the Sundarbans due to the lack of conservation measures.
