Only 4500 to 5000 tigers of this species remain in the whole world, instead of their earlier estimates of nearly 100,000. Within the 5000 of Panthera Tigris in the world, there are 450 to 500 living in Bangladesh. So it is important to conserve this threatened specie in the Bangladesh Sundarbans. But the tiger/ human conflict is a common phenomenon in the Sundarbans and adjacent area. Tigers are killing humans and humans are killing the tigers. In every case when the usually elusive tiger enters into the human habitant, they are killed by the local people.
