FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

Alan Rabinowitz, a scientist who dedicates his life to preserving tigers, says that there are laws in countries that inhabit tigers that if "they were enforced, we probably wouldn't have nearly the situation we do with tigers" (Fon Montaigne).

The author proposes that in order to save the endangered species we must "study whats there (and) secure the core habitat with greater enforcement" (Fon Montaigne).

Sometimes the only way to get through to local hunters is "strict enforcement", as in police and forest gaurds, "and actually they acknowledge it" (Fon Montaigne).

People think that African lions are in great shape because of television and movie footage, when in reality lions are "down to occupying less than 20 percent of its historic habitat" (Fon Montaigne).

Rabinowitz says that the major problem with conservation groups is that they are "good people, good project (and) usually good agendas working in isolation with eachother" (Fon Montaigne).

Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
This article is an interview between the author and a conservationist. They basically talk about the reasons why certain tactics of preservation aren't working, and what he thinks is the best way to fix the problems. He also talks about specific countries that have had some success in conserving thier tiger population.

Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
The author is a reporter for The Gaurdian Environment Network whos articles are featured in the paper as well as the website.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
The author could gain support from people who want to help out endangered species.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
The only bias I can detect is that the author is obviously in favor of trying to conserve wild cats.

References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
The author cites not only a grad student from Yale University, but also a scientist who devotes his time to saving endangered wild cats. This definitely adds to the credibility because it shows well educated people talking about this subject.

Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
I plan to use this source to show the different ways that people are trying to save wild cats.
