Bengal Tiger is endangered is because of the lack of its natural habitat. The tiger lives in various habitats from, open jungles, humid evergreen forests to mango grove swamps. Male Bengaltigers require a territory of 20 square miles, and females require about 17 square miles in order for them to feel protected. In India, the population has developed immensely. Large-scale migration on the outskirts of large cities has affected the forests too. A large part of India was covered, until recently, with thick forests. Since there has been a great deal of expansion, these forests were cut down to provide land for homes or commercial uses. Another major cause of deforestation is agricultural expansion. Recently the development of industrialization, urbanization and growing consumerism has resulted in the massive destruction of the forests. One reason that these forests are being destroyed is due to logging.Bengal Tiger is endangered is because of the lack of its natural habitat.
