Tigers´ Stolen (Wild)Life: When Circularity Triggers a Misery
Original language description
Although tiger (Panthera tigris) is listed as endangered animal in the wild, some tiger subspecies are nowadays being recognized as critically endangered, moreover probably extinct in the wild, or even extinct. The demand for products made of tiger bodies and their parts triggers the illegal trade and poaching, while the legal trade is prohibited as all tiger subspecies are listed in CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) Appendix I. One of the key element triggering the illegal activities is the fact that every part of the tiger body may be converted into a valuable product, presenting an untraditional example of circularity, but regrettably tiger needs to be dead in order to gain the maximum profit available. Unfortunately, illegal activities connected with tigers´ misery are not the domain of Asian countries only, where tigers have their natural habitats, but the Czech Republic plays its role as well, and not only on the consumption side, as one could suppose, but also on the supply side. This review paper intends to bring a generic overview on the issue of illegal trade in tigers, their parts and products, as well as the wider context regarding wildlife trade in endangered species itself.
