Join the, “Save Our Tigers” Campaign
February 5, 2010 – 2:13 am
There are just 1411 tigers left in India now. If we do not act now then we may never get a chance to save the tigers and in tun the forest. Tigers are central to the forest eco system. I read in a journal by tiger conservationist Valmik Thapar that if the tigers are lost then it will create an imbalance in the eco system and will result in erosion of forest. So if forests become extinct then where you will go on your vacations, where will you go to bust your stress and where will you go to be with nature? There were around 40,000 tigers by the start of 20th century but now we are left with just over a thousand.
Our forefathers has left has this amazing animal to see and it is our duty to make sure that coming generations can see the tigers too. In 1973 to save the tigers, Project Tiger was launched but it was an utter failure in most places. Because most of the tiger reserve created lacked personal, training and equipment. It has shown good result in some places like Corbet national park. In a country like India where people are surrounded by poverty, people are ready any route to survive or make money. So security of the forests is very essential. So lets highlight this issues in any form we can. One can blog, tweet, sms, write articles, word of mouth, email etc. I am done my bit by writing this article.
