Discussion on tiger conservation in Bali, Indonesia

Conservationists say tiger numbers ned to double to save the species
Officials from 13 countries are meeting in Bali, Indonesia, to agree on ways to try to double the number of tigers in the world.

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) conservation group has warned that a lack of global action could kill off the endangered species.

Hunting and a loss of habitat had cut numbers to about 3,200 tigers - the lowest ever.

The Bali Tiger Forum is a precursor to a planned global summit in December.

There is a particular focus on China, where a huge demand for tiger parts fopr consumption has fuelled a drop in numbers.
