The+SWEET+Sumatran+Tiger

**__ABOUT ME:)__**  Type: Sumatran tiger  Name: George  Age: 1 1/2  Family: I'm from the cat family  Offspring: I'm a boy!  Status: single, endangered  Location: Asia  Habitat: Forests ﻿ **__ FAVOURITES: __** Food: lot of mammals, including Sugar Gliders, Buffy-headed capuchins and more. Pastimes: I like climbing up trees to scratch my claws against it. Soon I wouldn't be able to do this because there will be no trees.

 __**BLOG 1:**__ Since people are cutting down our forests in Asia, there aren't many Sumatran tigers left. There is now a law that says that hunting tigers anywhere is banned. But once this law was released they then realized that hunters weren't their main problem anymore, bulldozers and chainsaws are. Thousands of tigers are getting killed because bulldozers and chainsaws are distroying their habitats and they have nowhere to live. Because of this there are only about 400-500 sumatran tigers left in the whole world! About 67,000 km² of forest was lost in from 1985 to 1997. Since all of the forests are being cut down, all the food that we eat isn't here anymore. The animals go because there isn't any food for them. This is also very concerning because my family and many others will starve to death as well as nowhere to live. Also we aren't just getting killed because our food isn't here or that our homes are being destroyed. One really BIG reason why my kind is dying out is that human beings are killing us for our fur so they can make glamourous coats. This one really gets my angry because they just kill for fur and that's it, they don't even care about the food part of it. A long time ago people didn't just kill for fur. They killed for food and they only killed what they needed. They wouldn't do it just for fun.

**__ BLOG 2: __** There are many ways that my kind and many other tiger kinds can be protected. One way is that humans can STOP cutting down all the forests in Asia, this will prevent animals having nowhere to live, and animals leaving because there is no food for them. Another way to protect the tiger kind is to not suppot people/companies when they sell animal fur. No one can really stop people from doing this because it has been going on for quite a while now, all we can do is not buy the products and defiantly don't support them. Also maybe you could get someone in a high position to make a complain about what is going on. You won't be known as someone that is complaining but trying to make a change. An even better way to help stop what is happening is for YOU to make a difference. If I wasn't a tiger and I could speak up for myself, I would go out there and tell them this needs to stop!

**__ BLOG 3: __** Since human beings have known that my kind is endangered many good people decided to do something about. What they are saying to do is to recylcle your old inkjet cartridges to help raise money for us. To read more about this go to: [|ww.helpsavethesumatrantigers.com] Also there is another site that tells you how to help prevent lots more tigers dying and information about Sumatran tigers. This is very good because people understand more about what is happening and how to help stop it. The site is: [|http]: [|//savesumatrans.weebly.com/] There are many other things happening to help not just Sumatran tigers but other endangered animals. And I think there could be way more groups. If i could change things I think that i would probably do. Charity group, to raise money for endangered animals. **__ PHOTO ALBUM: __**  picture of where the Sumatran Tiger lives picture of trees that have been cut down
