Sumatran tigers, the world's most critically endangered tiger subspecies, mauled to death six people in the region last month, prompting conservationists to launch a massive operation to capture and relocate the animals. Only about 250 of the cats are left in the wild compared to about 1,000 in the 1970s and without immediate action it could become the first large predator to go extinct in the 21st century.
