Tiger (Endangered) : Quickly disappearing from the wild, only 1,300 to 1,500 Indian tigers remain in India--a decline of over 50 percent in 5 years.
Jaguar (Near Threatened) : Amazon rain forests are among the last places on Earth where jaguars, the largest and most powerful cats in the Western Hemisphere, can be found in their natural splendor.
Snow Leopard (Endangered) : WWF helped lead a study that revealed a dramatic decline in populations of this magnificent species over a 10-year period.
Lion (Vunerable) : In Namibia--where vulnerable lions roam--WWF supports conservation approaches that are premised upon sustainable ecotourism, habitat conservation efforts, and more.
Amur Leopard (Critically endangered) : Recent studies revealed four new litters of Amur leopards. Yet this species remains the most endangered of all the big cats--with only about 35 remaining in the wild--and poaching continues.
Cheetah (Vunerable) : WWF has been working for almost 40 years with communities in the spectacularly rich ecoregion of Coastal East Africa, part of the cheetah's habitat.
I think thats discusting, and of course ppl are chopping down by my guess the Amazon rainforest, the only place in the world to see the Jaguar living in the wild in its true colours. I think that chopping down the Amazon rainforest would make the Jaguar one of the coolest big cats, by my guess extinct and of course the Indian Tiger. Here is some information about some of the other cats.
