Did you know today is International Tiger Day? These majestic cats have always captured our imagination, but sadly, they remain a severely threatened species in the wild. Despite intense conservation efforts, there are fewer than 3,900 tigers in the wild, living in less than 7 percent of their historical range. When a population is confined to small islands of wilderness, as tigers are, there is a higher risk of inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity, leaving the species with weaker young. To combat this, Museum researchers have been working with the global wild-cat conservation organization Panthera to establish “genetic corridors” that allow tigers to seek new territory for prey and new populations for breeding. “Tracking” individual cats using genetic markers lets researchers map movement within and between populations.
