In Sin City, the illegal tiger-farming business is thriving.
In new, covert drone footage, tigers and bears pace inside prison-like cement and corrugated steel cages near a casino complex — a newly built, expanded commercial captive-breeding facility on the banks of the Mekong River in Laos. The video, obtained by the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA), reveals that tiger numbers there have doubled since the U.K. nonprofit’s 2015 “Sin City” exposé.

My new painting to support the animal of 2022 year- tiger! In the 19th century, there were 1,000 Amur tigers in my country but at the beginning of the 20th century, the number decreased 33 times.
The reason for the extinction of tigers - is WE, PEOPLE!
Right now the population of them is 450 animals and scientists continue to save tigers
So I will donate money that I will earn from selling this painting and prints of it to support tigers and maybe in the end of the summer will go by myself to see the Tiger shelters and nature reserves.
If you want to support my idea and donate money please DM me and I will explain you everything!

Media outlets in Nepal were abuzz recently with reports that the country’s iconic Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris), on whose protection the government and various NGOs lavish huge sums of money every year, were moving to India in search of better habitats.
Tigers have historically moved freely between ranges in Nepal and India, establishing a rich genetic pool. However, these movements are becoming increasingly restricted due to a host of challenges, and compounded by a sense of “animal nationalism” that threatens to fragment populations in the two countries.
Movement of wildlife is also affected. As both countries expand their road networks, the unilateral infrastructure projects surrounding the border and shared forest land are interrupting key tiger corridors.
