Is This All We Can Do?

       The Indochinese tiger is the fastest declinning sub-species of tiger in the world! Currently, there are only approxamately 1,411 Indochinese tigers left in the wild. The leaders of Veitnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, and Burma have done barely anything to save this sub-species of tiger. They have restricted access to Indochinese tiger habitats, but haven't followed through to make sure no one breaks this law.


     Reservation are the only way of conservation that has suceeded. These reservations are small and don't get too much support.  So far, this is all we have done, but not all we can do.


     So, seriously, instead of saving a tiger that has a population of less than 1,500 left in the wild, why are we doing nothing?
    
     Right now, we can petition better wildlife conservation laws for all species. We could also rally and protest for new laws. People could do outrageous things to get media's attention to spread the cause.The very few reserves in Cambodia and China could use some support. We could give them some support. But are we? No, we aren't.
