Illegal Trade of Tigers
Yes, the illegal trade of tiger products is a serious issue, particularly for the WWF China program office and the TRAFFIC trade monitoring unit. While tigers are threatened by habitat loss, the greater danger is the killing of animals for their parts which are used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
It is crucial that we help countries involved in the illegal import and export of tiger parts to strengthen their monitoring and law enforcement capacities. For more information about illegal wildlife trade, please visit our Global Challenges section.
