阅读理解。 What's black and orange and growing for the first time in decades? India's tiger population! On Monday, officials announced the results of the latest tiger count. The census (统计) totaled 1,706 tigers in forests across the Asian country-about 300 more than four years ago. "The numbers give us hope for the future of tigers in the world," said Jim Leape, international director of the World Wildlife Fund. A century ago, about 100,000 tigers lived in India's forests. But by 2002, a count showed that there wereonly 3,600 left. The number dropped to 1,411 in 2007. What caud India's tiger population to shrink so dramatically? More than anything el, experts say, development has taken a toll. People have moved into tiger territory and destroyed much of the animal's habitat. Today, tigers live on a just small part of the land they occupied 100 years ago.     Illegal hunting has also contributed to the decline. Poachers (盗猎者) can demand high fees for tiger parts,which are a key ingredient in traditional Chine medicine. The parts from one tiger can ll for tens of thousands of dollars. India's news is a step in the right direction. But while the number of tigers has incread there in the last four years, the animals' habitat has shrunk. Roads and construction projects have blocked off many tiger corridors-routes ud by the big cats to go from one forest to another. "Securing the corridors should betaken up as a priority," says Rajesh Gopal, of the National Tiger Conrvation Authority. Last November, leaders from the 13 countries that are home to wild tigers met in St. Petersburg, Russia, to develop a plan to help the endangered cats. They t a goal to double the world's tiger population by theyear 2022. Will we reach that goal? With India's tiger population on the ri and conrvationists around the world focud on helping the big cats, it ems it just might happen. 1.
