The Sumatran tiger is the smallest of the tiger subspecies. Populations have been declining rapidly in recent decades as a result of habitat loss from logging, palm oil plantations, and poaching. There are an estimated 400 to 600 Sumatran tigers left in the wild. As tiger habitat becomes increasingly fragmented, there is a need to better understand how tigers use the landscape in order to preserve functional corridors and minimize conflicts between people and tigers. Visit the San Diego Wild Animal Park to see these majestic creatures up close.
