“Siberian survivors” I need it ASAP! Why is it easier for people to think about saving the Siberian tiger than it is for them to save a species of insect or bat or bug-eating plant?

Answer: There's multiple reasons it's easier to think about saving the Siberian tiger. For one it's a top predator which means it plays a vital role in its ecosystem. Another reason is because its much easier to want to save something that doesn't look too unpleasant or creepy, a lot of people would rather save something that looks cute or just normal rather than something that looks very creepy even if its kinda wrong to have this mindset. You're also gonna hear more about the Siberian tiger being endangered since it's pretty well known. Other endangered species might not be as well known.
