[center]Just a handful of tiger subspecies remain in the wild —
here they are[/center]
Elena Motivans March 28, 2017
Tigers are the largest felines in the world. At the start of the
20th century, there were 100,000 tigers in the wild. Now between
3,000 and 4,000 tigers remain due to hunting and habitat loss.
Although there is only one species of tiger, Panthera tigris,
there are different subspecies, not different enough to be
separate species but have subtle differences.
Tigers have only dispersed from Siberia relatively recently, in
the past few to 70,000 years. This is enough time for genetic
differences to arise but not enough time for them to look really
different from each other. Nine subspecies are genetically
justified and recognized. Three subspecies are extinct already
and the other six subspecies are classified as endangered by the
IUCN. In 2015, a controversial study claimed that based on
morphology and ecology, there are only two subspecies of tigers.
However, this suggestion has not been adopted and the nine
subspecies are officially recognized:
Bengal tiger

The Bengal tiger (P.t. tigris) is the most common type of tiger.
There are still about 2,500 left in the wild. They live on the
Indian subcontinent, in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan.
Bengal tigers are the second largest tiger subspecies and enjoy
eating pigs, deer, and other hoofed animals. They live in
grasslands, subtropical and tropical rainforests, deciduous
forests, and mangroves. Perhaps one reason that they have
survived is that they don’t need much space compared to other
tigers; about 18 tigers can live in 100 square km (39 square
miles).

There are 4 different types of Bengals, which interestingly,
look even more different from each other than the other
subspecies combined. The Standard Bengal is the typical orange
and black type, while the other types now only exist in
captivity. The Royal White Bengal (white with black stripes)
only have 300-400 members left. Thirty Golden Tabby Bengals (red
to pale orange cream stripes) are in captivity. The Snow White
Bengals (all white or with ghost stripes) are the most
threatened type; there are only a dozen left.
Indochinese tiger

The Indochinese tiger (P.t. corbetti) lives in southeast Asia.
It used to live in China and Cambodia but is extinct in those
regions. In 2010, there were 350 tigers left in the wild. They
prefer to live in mountainous or hilly areas. Lots of poaching
in the area has really caused the population of Indochinese
tiger to drop drastically. Roads, dams, and mines have cut away
some of their territories.Their prey has also been wiped out by
hunting so it’s hard for the remaining tigers to find food, such
as wild pigs and deer. Luckily, the tropical forests are still
intact and they have a place to live.
Malayan Tiger

[center]Image credits: Ted.[/center]
The Malayan tiger (P.t. jacksoni) is found only in the Southern
part of Malay Peninsula. It used to live in Thailand and
Singapore also but is extinct there now. Genetic studies in 2004
named the Malayan tiger a distinct subspecies. Before they were
thought to be Indochinese tigers. Morphologically, both species
are hard to tell apart. There are fewer than 500 left in the
wild, though the number is possibly more between 200 and 300.
Their rainforest habitat is disappearing making it hard for them
to have the space that they need. Deer and boars aren’t so
common, so one tiger lives in 100 square km (39 square miles).
The Malaysian government is actively conserving their tiger by
introducing wildlife corridors and taking measures to double its
population by 2022.
Siberian tiger

The Siberian tiger (P.t. altaica) is also called the Amur tiger.
It lives in Eastern Siberia, with a small population in
northeastern China and North Korea. It calls the taiga and
eastern Russian birch forest its home. About 500 Siberian tigers
exist in the wild. They are adapted to live in the cold Siberian
landscape. They are the largest tigers and have thicker fur to
survive the cold. The tigers are also paler and have fewer
stripes, which are dark brown instead of black. One thing going
for them is that they live in the largest unfragmented tiger
habitat with the fewest humans. They need the most space of any
of the other tiger subspecies, one male needs 1000 square km
(386 square miles).
Sumatran tiger

The Sumatran tiger (P.t. sumatrae) is found only on Sumatra
island. The other two subspecies only found on Indonesian
islands have already gone completely extinct. This tiger was
found to be a distinct subspecies in 1998 through genetic
testing. There are between 400 and 500 left in the wild, mostly
in national parks. The Sumatran tiger is the smallest subspecies
due to thick forests and small prey. It has dark fur, with
closely spaced stripes and a longer mane. One male needs 100
square kilometers (39 square miles) of space.
South China tiger

[center]Image credits: J. Patrick Fischer.[/center]
The South China tiger (P.t. amoyensis) is the most endangered
subspecies of tiger. It’s also in the top 10 most endangered
species in the world. It is officially extinct in the wild,
about 65 tigers exist in captivity. There could be a lone few
left in the wild; unconfirmed sighting and footprints have been
reported. In the 1950s there were supposedly 4,000 South China
tigers in the wild. Unfortunately, most of them were killed in
the 1950s when the Chinese government labeled them as a pest
that should be eradicated. Hunting was banned in 1979, and the
government applied some conservation measures in the 1990s, but
it was too little too late. That shows you how quickly a species
can go extinct if it specifically hunted. The South China tiger
is a bright orange colour and has a narrow skull.

Three tigers were brought to extinction in the past 100 years.
The Bali (P. t. balica) and Java tigers (P. t. sondaica) lived
on the islands after which they were named. Bali tigers were
hunted to extinction in 1937. Javan tigers lost most of their
habitat and were killed. The Caspian tiger (P.t. virgate) lived
in Eastern Europe and West Asia and went extinct in the early
1970s. It was hunted due to a Soviet Union land reclamation
program. Additionally, its prey was hunted and its natural
habitat was destroyed. We need to be careful that the living
tigers don’t fall to the same fate.
What do you think, should the tigers be considered nine
different subspecies or two? If they were considered as two,
conservation would be easier, but the unique characteristics of
each would be lost.

[b]Predator Defense
Published on Dec 12, 2012
America's gray wolves were rescued from the brink of extinction
over 35 years ago when they gained federal protection under the
Endangered Species Act. But these majestic animals have been
under attack since April 2011, when President Obama removed them
from the endangered species list and turned management over to
state wildlife agencies.
By April 2015 over 3,600 wolves had been senselessly slaughtered
by sport hunters and trappers in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. This "kill tally" does not include the
scores of wolves slaughtered by federal and state predator
control programs.
Predator Defense's film, "The Imperiled American Wolf," explains
the reasons wolves cannot be successfully managed by state
wildlife agencies: not only do their methods ignore the core
biology of how wolves hunt and breed, but their funding depends
on hunting and trapping fees. In fact, current wolf management
may actually lead to wolves' demise. Predator Defense and this
film make a bold call for federal relisting of these important
apex predators as endangered species.
The war being waged against wolves is senseless and tragic, and
it is up to all of us to speak out now on their behalf. Learn

Agelbert NOTE: As if it wasn't bad enough under Obama, with
Trump, it has gotten WORSE for wolves.

[center]Wayne Lotter, founding member of the PAMS conservation
NGO.[/center]
The head of an animal conservation NGO who had received numerous
death threats has been shot and killed by an unknown gunman in
Tanzania.
Wayne Lotter, 51, was shot on Wednesday evening in the Masaki
district of the city of Dar es Salaam. The wildlife
conservationist was being driven from the airport to his hotel
when his taxi was stopped by another vehicle. Two men, one armed
with a gun opened his car door and shot him.
Lotter was a director and co-founder of the PAMS Foundation, an
NGO that provides conservation and anti-poaching support to
communities and governments in Africa. Since starting the
organisation in Tanzania in 2009, he had received numerous death
threats relating to his work.
Police in Tanzania have launched an investigation into his
death.

[center]Wayne Lotter with primatologist Jane Goodall (centre)
and PAMS co-founder Krissie Clark[/center].
The PAMS Foundation funded and supported Tanzania’s elite
anti-poaching National and Transnational Serious Crimes
Investigation Unit (NTSCIU) which was responsible for arrests of
major ivory traffickers including Yang Feng Glan, the so-called
“Queen of Ivory” and several other notorious elephant poachers.
Since 2012, the unit has arrested more than 2,000 poachers and
ivory traffickers and has a conviction rate of 80%. The NTSCIU
was recently featured in the Netflix documentary The Ivory Game.
In a previous interview, Lotter said he believed its work had
helped to reduce poaching rates in Tanzania by at least 50%.
The latest elephant census data suggests that elephant
populations fell by 30% in Africa between 2007 and 2014.
Tanzania experienced one of the biggest declines in elephant
numbers, where the census documented a 60% decrease in the
population.
Lotter rarely took credit for PAMS’ success in helping reduce
poaching rates in Tanzania, and was always quick to credit the
work of the communities and agencies he worked with.

Lotter was a big figure in the international conservation
community, having served on the boards of several conservation

Federation. The news of his death has sent the community into
mourning. “Wayne was one of Africa’s leading and most committed
conservationists. He had over two decades worth of experience in
wildlife management and conservation, and can be credited as the
driving force behind ending the unscrupulous slaughter of
Tanzania’s elephants,” said Azzedine Downes, CEO of the
International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).
“Wayne devoted his life to Africa’s wildlife. From working as a
ranger in his native South Africa as a young man to leading the
charge against poaching in Tanzania, Wayne cared deeply about
the people and animals that populate this world,” read a
statement released by the PAMS Foundation team. “Wayne’s charm,
brilliance and eccentric sense of humour gave him the unique
ability to make those around him constantly laugh and smile. He
died bravely fighting for the cause he was most passionate
about.

[center]Canada geese flock to cities to escape hunters[/center]
LAST UPDATED ON OCTOBER 30TH, 2017 AT 2:34 PM BY MIHAI ANDREI
Researchers were wondering why so many Canada geese were popping
up in cities more often. After doing a bit of research, they
found that the geese were actually hiding from hunters. Instead
of being “sitting ducks” in the countryside, they take refuge in
urban areas.
Canada Geese are large wild birds, native to arctic and
temperate regions of North America, but also found in northern
Europe. They’re so successful and widespread that in many parts
of the world, they’re regarded as pests. They’re also one of the
most commonly hunted species in North America.
From mid-October to mid-January, it’s hunting season in many
parts of the US and Canada. University of Illinois ornithologist
Mike Ward wanted to see if there is some connection between this
season and the urban shift of the geese.
“We thought the geese would fly to forage on nearby agricultural
fields during the day, then fly back to the city to roost, but
that wasn’t the case. What we learned is that they weren’t going
to the city for food, they were going there because there were
no hunters,” he explains.
They tracked the birds and found that 85 percent of them
wintered in the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area, and none made
foraging flights to agricultural fields within or outside of the
urban area. Their strategy worked well, Ward says.
“All of the Canada geese that spent the winter in Chicago
survived, whereas half of the birds that decided to leave the
Chicagoland area and go to areas where hunting is allowed, and
more prevalent, were harvested.”
However, while this is good news for the birds, it might not be
so good for local communities. There’s a reason these birds are
often regarded as invasive — not only do they tend to push out
native species, but they can also cause problems for locals.
They can contaminate water sources, spread diseases, they can
even be aggressive. Geese are also the largest bird commonly
struck by aircraft in North America, Ward writes.
Researchers don’t really know what’s the best way to treat the
problem, but they’re looking at what the geese are most
interested in: food.
“We have future studies that will investigate the best ways to
harass geese to make them leave the city,” Ward says. “We are
approaching this from an energy use perspective. If the geese
cannot find good sources of food and the harassment cause them
to use energy, they may be forced to leave the city in search of
food in agricultural fields.”
The paper “Survival and habitat selection of Canada Geese during
autumn and winter in metropolitan Chicago, USA” is published in
The Condor: Ornithological Applications by the American
Ornithological Society.

[move][font=courier]Where Have All the Salmon
Gone?[/font][/move]
By Heather Smith
SNIPPET 1:
To get to the largest surviving population of wild Spring
Chinook salmon on the Klamath River, I drive farther north than
I've ever been in California, then turn right. Gradually, the
highways disappear, and the roads narrow. Commerce becomes more
improvisational. Grocery stores and restaurants disappear and in
their place there is a farm stand staffed by Gandalf in overalls
and a naked baby cooing to itself and scooting along on a
tricycle.
The roads become more improvisational too, and begin to curve
and twist until they nearly double back on themselves, until my
rental car is trundling along a single lane of dirt and gravel
carved into the edge of a cliff. It becomes clear to me that if
I meet another car going in the opposite direction that one of
us is going to die, probably me. But when I do round a corner
and see another car it does a set of maneuvers that seem to bend
space-time, and somehow we pass by each other smoothly, and
continue on our way.
[center]
HTML https://youtu.be/4YM8YvU46wA[/center]
SNIPPET 2:
That evening we learn that the recorded count this year is
110—just a little under the all-time low of 90, back in 2005,
and a far cry from the highest recorded count of 1593 back in
2012. At a conference the next day, the tone is somber. "When I
heard last night the number of salmon in the system it was like
a kick to the gut," says Josh Saxon of the Karuk Council. "We
are failing this species. If this disappears so will our
ceremonies."
