The conservation groups and the government in Malaysia are still trying to pick up the numbers of tigers from 500 to about 1,000 to 2020 . Hopefully the numbers of tigers in Malaysia will be doubled over the next twelve years . Many tigers were killed by the hunters illegally over the years, and now they are trying to ban the killing of tigers in Malaysia. The hunters usually hunt down the tigers because of their valuable body parts and many body parts are use in Chinese medicine. Tigers were been protected in Malaysia by the laws since 1970 . But the numbers of wild tigers has dropped from 3,000 to only about 500 over these past 50 years.
