World leaders seek to save the tiger

The tiger, and endangered species continues to inch closer to extinction due to poachers limiting their range. 13 states were part of an international summit in Russia to discuss how to double the tiger population by 2022, the next year of the tiger. The main problems against saving the species is the trade of tiger parts, such as bone and paws, that are used for traditional medicines in China. This supplies the market, and to further complicate matters, the tigers are processed in a different country, and are from tigers in a third. The trade is international, and therefore so must be the response and conservation initiatives.
