1) The small number member in a population does not produce a large variation in the genes which are essential for the survival of the species.it means Small numbers of tigers mean that fewer possible variations of genes are available. 

 2) If any natural calamity occurs or any disease spreads and kills these small numbers of surviving tigers, they will become extinct resulting in the loss of these genes forever.

3) Less number of species means less number of diversity and a lesser number of traits which reduces the chances of adaptability with respect to change in the environment.
