The Sumatran tiger will disappear in a few years unless poaching, trading and 
the destruction of its forest habitat are halted immediately, a report 
published today says. 
Fewer than 500 of the critically endangered species remain in the wild and 
more than 50 were killed annually in 1998-2002, the wildlife trade monitoring 
network Traffic and the environmental group WWF say in Trade of the Sumatran 
Tiger.
