Hope for Tigers
In 2010, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) brought bad news that the world tiger population had hit an all-time low. There were just 3,200 tigers left in the wild, about half as many as there had been ten years before.
Now there’s good news: Tigers could be making a comeback. There were about 4,000 tigers in the world in 2019. In July, India, which has 70% of the world’s tiger, announced(宣布) that its tiger population had reached nearly 3,000. That’s a 30% rise in just four years.
India’s success was years in the making. In 2006, habitat(栖息地) loss made the number of India’s tigers reduce to only 1,411. So the Indian government decided to take a stronger plan of protection. Since its Wildlife Protection Act became law, India has given tigers a high level of protection.
Also, India’s latest tiger amount was the work of thousands of scientists. They covered 150,000 square miles of tiger habitat, using thousands of cameras to record the animal’s movements. With the help of their research, India created 50 reserves(保护区), where tigers can spread out and hunt(捕猎).
It’s when the big cats move away from the reserves that trouble starts. “When tigers leave protected reserves, they often run into local people. We cannot save wildlife without the cooperation of the people.” says wildlife expert Shari Rodriguez. Therefore, India’s government has been moving villages away from reserves. “In India, there is a lot of national pride in tigers. They are India’s biggest attraction. Villagers benefit from jobs in the national parks or from selling art works to tourists.”
But challenges remain for tigers all over Asia. They are hunted for their skin, and their teeth are sold as medicine. “They’re still in danger,” Rodriguez says. She draws hope from India’s success, “This is a small, small victory in a long war against dying out.”

Though being a parent has never been easy, the Internet hasn’t made the job any easier. Just how seriously are parents taking their role of monitoring(监控) their children’s online behavior?
A new study from the Digital Future Project finds a sharp difference in parental ways of Internet supervision(监督). 70% of parents say they monitor their kids’ online activity while on Facebook and other social media sites. In contrast, 30% of parents don’t step in kids’ online life because they trust their kids, don’t want to show a lack of trust, don’t know how to use social media sites or don’t have time to. Such a divide is due to the fact that parents fall in multiple generations with many different types of parenting styles.
Many parents take a wide range of actions to monitor and police their teen’s online behavior. Nearly six-in-ten parents say they often or sometimes check which websites their teen visits. 46% have password to log in their children’s social media accounts. In order to combat unsafe websites surfing, some parents even download softwares such as Spectorsoft, which blocks, records and alerts parents by monitoring kids’ Internet use.
However, parenting expert Gwenn Schurgin O’Keeffe, CEO of a parenting website PediatricsNow.com, advises against using such software as Spectorsoft unless it’s a unique situation. “You do things because you love your kids and you want to protect them,” she says, “But kids aren’t these evil(邪恶的) creatures. Not trusting the online world should not be your only consideration.”
With growing concerns, great efforts have been made globally to ensure Internet safety and quality for youngsters. The US government updated COPPA (the Child Online Privacy Protection Act) to increase protection for children’s private information. Europe has not only given people “the right to be forgotten” on social media sites, allowing them to wipe their browsing history clean, but has also limited companies’ access(进入) to personal information. “I like the idea,” a user of PediatricsNow.com says, “Kids and teenagers are just experimenting. Until they hurt other people, they should be free to be a kid and learn about life.”
Despite these efforts, government regulations(规章) are having a hard time keeping up as new websites pop up every day. Therefore, parents still have to step up and recognize they need to be involved in their kids’ lives and find that happy medium. They have to stop being so disbelieving and give kids chances and the benefit of the doubt.
