The tiger is one of our planet’s most awe-inspiring animals. With its unique stripe patterns, grace, strength, agility, and almighty roar, it’s no wonder the tiger is the national animal of India. But this amazing species is also endangered: Wild tiger numbers dropped by more than 95 percent since the beginning of the 20th century. This International Tiger Day, revisit this McKinsey for Kids edition to explore mangrove forests, and learn why protecting them can help tigers and other endangered species. Then dive into this report by Julien Claes, Michael Conway, Tony Hansen, Kimberly Henderson, Clarisse Magnin-Mallez, and coauthors for an analytical methodology to help decision makers evaluate alternative ways to expand nature conservation—and check out other editions in our McKinsey for Kids series.
