What are the major threats facing the endangered Sumatran tiger, and what conservation measures are being taken to protect this critically endangered subspecies?

The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) faces major threats including habitat loss due to deforestation, poaching for its body parts, and human-wildlife conflict. Conservation measures include habitat protection through the establishment of national parks and reserves, anti-poaching patrols, community engagement programs to reduce human-wildlife conflict, and efforts to combat illegal wildlife trade. Additionally, conservationists are working on habitat restoration and ecological studies to better understand and protect the remaining tiger population.
