RE: Jaguars (Panthera onca) are beginning to become targeted by wildlife traffickers as demand for their fangs increase in China

The same is happening with Bengal Tigers as well. The population is drastically reducing in India. In most of the places the forests are being converted to residential areas and it is becoming a threat to some of these species. The numbers of White tigers are also very minimal and they are not growing in forests anymore. They are living in Zoo.

As you said, the hope is completely on the new generation. I personally feel all the technological advancements someway or the other affects our ecology. So even in future, the situation can be even worse. But a proper awareness can maybe help the future generation.

Yeah, tigers are in a worse place than the jaguars as well. I'm afraid that it is even more difficult to stop the extinction of the Bengal tigers, especially when they are wanted for the fangs and their skin.
