The conservation status of a tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) is currently "near threatened" according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This designation means that although the population of tiger sharks is relatively stable at the moment, they are at risk of becoming endangered if conservation efforts are not maintained. Tiger sharks face various threats such as habitat loss, overfishing (including being targeted for their fins), bycatch in fishing gears, and climate change impacts on their ecosystem. Continued monitoring, protection, and management measures are necessary to ensure the long-term survival of tiger sharks.
