The Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) has been classified as endangered since the 1970s.
Factors contributing to its endangered status include:
1. **Habitat Loss**: Deforestation, urban development, and agricultural expansion have led to significant habitat destruction and fragmentation.
2. **Poaching**: Siberian tigers are targeted for their fur and body parts, which are used in traditional medicine and luxury items.
3. **Prey Depletion**: Overhunting of their primary prey species, such as deer and wild boar, has reduced their food sources, pushing them closer to human settlements in search of food.
4. **Human-Wildlife Conflict**: As their habitat shrinks and prey becomes scarce, tigers may come into conflict with humans, leading to further persecution.
5. **Climate Change**: Altered weather patterns can affect their habitat and the availability of prey.
