On February 14, 2010, the Chinese lunar calendar moved into the Year of the Tiger. 2022 foi também o Ano Lunar do Tigre, lembras?

Poaching is the most immediate threat to wild tigers. Every part of the tiger—from whisker to tail—is traded in illegal wildlife markets. In relentless demand, their parts are used for traditional medicine, folk remedies and, increasingly, as status symbols among some Asian cultures.
