Weak bones and rapid aging cause identified - microplastics in human bones
A recent review reveals the alarming presence of microplastics in human bones, cartilage, and intervertebral discs, triggering inflammation and potentially weakening the skeleton over time. Studies suggest that microplastic exposure can accelerate bone degeneration, impair cell viability, and alter cell differentiation. This added stress could exacerbate age-related bone deterioration, increasing the risk of fractures.

Tiger population is an indicator of the ecosystem's wellbeing
If the tigers go extinct, the entire system would collapse. For instance, when the Dodos went extinct in Mauritius, one species of the acacia tree stopped regenerating completely. So, when a species goes extinct, it leaves behind a scar, which affects the entire ecosystem. Another reason why we need to save the tiger is that our forests are water catchment areas.
