    Explanation:

    Explanation: The Bengal tiger, also known as the Royal Bengal Tiger or the Indian tiger, is the subspecies with the largest population. It is the national animal of India, place where its image is  part of the traditions and the culture. In Bangladesh, it is also the national animal present even in  the bills. The largest populations of Bengal tigers are in India, but thereare some smaller groups in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. It may also be present in areas of China and Burma. An estimate  of the World Tiger Recovery Program indicates that there are about 440 individuals in Bangladesh,  about 155 in Nepal and about 75 in Bhutan. The approximate number of specimens is less than  2,500.However, the latest census of 2016 indicates that there are 106 tigers in Bangladesh, 103 in  Bhutan, 198 in Nepal and 2,226 in India. This information is from government sources and is not  confirmed by independent organizations. Bengal tiger habitats usually are tropical rainforests, marshes, and tall grasses. The Bengal tiger is in danger of extinction, according to the International  Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Although it is the most populated species, its numbers keep decreasing rather than increasing, which has worried environmental organizations. The Bengal  tiger is in danger of extinction. The main threats to this species are two: poaching and conflicts with  humans over the territories. Poaching aim is to illegally trade the products obtained from tigers, such  as decorative objects or the active ingredient of “drugs” to cure various diseases, but which have no  proven efficacy. Their habitat, severely degraded by logging, and the invasion of humans in their territories keeps reducing. When tigers attack domestic animals or even humans, they unleash the  wrath of people who in retaliation kill them. Fortunately, since the 1970s India began to establish  reserves through the Tiger Project that helped stabilize the Number of tigers. Also, the Indian Wildlife  Protection Act of 1972 empowers the government to take conservation measures. The Wildlife  Protection Society of India continues watching all allegations of tiger poaching. They have  confiscated large amounts of tiger parts and pelts, but it is often hard for them to get to the source  of who is responsible for killing and shipping them. Even though they arrest those caught with them,  there are more people involved in the process than they can catch.To get away with poaching though  many of these hunters have shifted to poisoning the Tigers. Then they are found already dead, and  they can’t be held responsible for killing them which is also the same practice that many farmers do  to protect their livestock.
