Selamat Hari Harimau Sedunia!
Apresiasi terhadap para pihak yang telah terlibat atas diterbitkannya re-assesmen status konservasi harimau secara global oleh The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Status harimau telah dinilai kembali, dengan angka baru mengungkapkan bahwa saat ini ada antara 3.726 dan 5.578 harimau di alam liar di seluruh dunia. Peningkatan 40% sejak penilaian harimau terakhir pada tahun 2015 merupakan hasil perbaikan dalam pemantauan, menunjukkan bahwa jumlah harimau lebih banyak dari yang diperkirakan sebelumnya, dan jumlah harimau secara global tampak stabil atau meningkat. Penilaian ulang ini menegaskan bahwa harimau tetap berstatus Endangered dalam IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Tren populasi menunjukkan bahwa upaya konservasi telah memberikan dampak dan pemulihan populasi memungkinkan selama upaya konservasi berlanjut.
Mari kita dukung bersama upaya konservasi harimau dalam bentuk apapun yang kita bisa.
After attached the GPS collar on two and a half year female sumatran tiger on 16th december 2020, the tiger named as Ciuniang Nurantih is being released in Kerinci Seblat National Park on 28th Februari 2021. Ciuniang Nurantih was entered human settlement in Jorong Surantih, Lubuk Alung Village back on July 2020.
The tiger has been reassessed, with new figures revealing that there are currently between 3,726 and 5,578 tigers in the wild worldwide. The 40% increase since the last tiger assessment in 2015 is the result of improvements in monitoring, showing that there are more tigers than previously thought, and the number of tigers globally appears to be stable or increasing. While this reassessment confirms that the tiger remains Endangered on the IUCN Red List, the population trend indicates that projects such as the IUCN Integrated Tiger Habitat Conservation Programme are succeeding and recovery is possible as long as conservation efforts continue.
Major threats include poaching of tigers, poaching and hunting of their prey, and habitat fragmentation and destruction due to the growing pressures of agriculture and human settlement. Expanding and connecting protected areas, ensuring they are effectively managed, and working with local communities living in and around tiger habitats, are critical to protect the species.
