Brett Wright is a professor at the College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences at Clemson University. Wright serves as the director of the Tigers United University Consortium, an international council of business and conversation leaders that assist the Global Tiger Forum in saving remaining populations of wild tigers. Through the consortium, four universities - Clemson, Auburn, Louisiana State and Missouri, which all have tigers as their mascots - combined their expertise in academic disciplines important to tiger conservation and protection, including wildlife management, engineering, environmental science, conversation social science, veterinary medicine, communications and eco-tourism.Various wildlife conservation organizations estimate only approximately 5,000 panthera tigris — tigers — remain in the wild. This alarming number equals a roughly 95 percent decrease in wild tigers in the past century or so. Endangered since 1986 due to multiple factors, including loss of habitat due to human activity as well as poaching to illegally sell tiger parts for use in traditional medicine, tiger numbers have dwindled dramatically in recent decades.
