It is believed that there are less than 4,500 wild tigers left in the world.
The biggest culprit in the iconic animals’ decline has been poaching to feed the illegal trade of tiger parts.
The biggest culprit leading to the decrease in the number of this iconic animal is poaching to achieve the purpose of illegally trading tiger organs.
Some of those illegal products are used in traditional medicines, but tiger pelts are also highly prized as decorative items.

The unique stripy coats that make them so sought after, however, are also helping conservation workers tackle the poaching problem — and they should soon get a big helping hand from artificial intelligence.

> Limited-edition sneakers have beer-filled soles
What’s it like to walk on beer?
To celebrate the launch of Heineken’s newest product, Heineken Silver, the Dutch brewer commissioned The Shoe Surgeon to create a sneaker that embodied the identity of their new beer.
In order to celebrate the launch of Heineken’s new product "Heineken Star Silver", Heineken commissioned "Shoe Surgeon" to design a sports shoe that can reflect the silky and smooth taste of the new beer.
The so-called “Heinekicks” feature the company’s iconic color scheme – green, white and red – as well as the Heineken logo and bottle openers built into the tongues.
This sneaker named Heinekicks bears Heineken’s iconic green, white, red, TINT and Heineken logo, and a "portable bottle opener" is hung on the tongue.
But what really sets them apart from any other sneakers is the liquid floating in their transparent soles – actual Heineken Silver beer.
But the biggest difference between this sports shoe and other sports shoes is that the transparent sole of this shoe is filled with flowing liquid, and these liquids are Heineken Star Silver Beer.
Using a specialized surgical injection method, Dominic Ciambone created the first ever pair of sneakers that allow the wearer to walk on beer.
Dominic Simbourne used a professional surgical injection to make the first sports shoes that can make people walk on beer. It is said that the liquid flow in the sole can make you feel a unique touch during walking.
> COVID linked to elevated risk of brain conditions
Research: COVID-19 patients are still at higher risk of brain and mental illness after two years of rehabilitation.
Millions of people who have had COVID-19 face a higher risk of neurological and psychiatric conditions, including brain fog, dementia and psychosis, two years after their illness, compared with those who have had other respiratory infections, according to the single largest study of its kind.
The largest study of its kind found that millions of COVID-19 patients were at higher risk of developing nervous system diseases and mental diseases such as brain fog, dementia and insanity after two years of recovery than those who had been infected with other respiratory viruses.
They also face an increased risk of anxiety and depression, research suggests, but this subsides within two months of infection.
Studies have shown that these people are also at higher risk of anxiety and depression, but these symptoms will subside within two months after being infected with Covid-19.
Like adults, children recovering from COVID-19 were more likely to be diagnosed with conditions including seizures and psychotic disorders.
Like adult patients, children who have been infected with Covid-19 and recovered are more likely to suffer from epilepsy, insanity and other diseases.
More neurological and psychiatric disorders were seen during the Delta variant wave than with the prior Alpha variant.
In addition, patients infected with the virus during the epidemic of Delta strain are more likely to develop nervous system diseases and insanity than during the epidemic of Alpha strain earlier.
The new study, by the University of Oxford, analyzed 1.28 million COVID -19 cases over two years.
