At the turn of the 20th century, according to sources, India had an estimated 40,000 tigers in the wild. In 2002, based on pug mark census, this number was 3,642. As per the monitoring exercise by Wildlife Institute of India in association with National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), Government of India using camera traps, in 2008 we were left with only 1,411 tigers. This number is so small that they will be gone soon if we don’t wake up to the crisis.

white tigers are a detrimental genetic mutation and not natural. when disreputable breeders breed for white tiger they often end up with other mutations as well such as clef lips, crossed eyes or blind or crippling hip and joint issues. These tigers when not euthanized live a painful life lacking in quality. White tigers should not be promoted because they actually are a detriment to the genetic strength of the species (and sub species) and are only bred by greedy people who are looking to turn a quick buck. any reputable conservation organization would never breed white tigers or condone organizations that do.
