Save our tigers.

21 February 2010

At the turn of 20th century we had 100,000 Tigers in the world and in India alone we had 40,000. The number is decreasing rapidly. Now we have 1411 Tigers in India. We need to save them. It is for us, we should understand how important Tigers are to our environment.

There are lots of initiatives from people to corporate; Mr. Mike Pandey, eminent Environmentalist and filmmaker have started YouTube Channel to make people aware about it. John Abraham, the Bollywood actor too support in this initiative by featuring in. Mike Pandey have created a FaceBook fan page The Return of the Tiger (TROT) and it has more than 2500 members as of now.

Another initiative noticed of Aircel in association with WWF, they have launched a website www.saveourtigers.com. And they have more than 1.5 lakhs supporters joined the roar to save Tigers.

There are initiatives from Government too. There is project tiger by government of India. And there are 41 Tiger Reserves in India, recently Kerala state have declared Parambikulam as a Tiger Reserve.

Government should look in to why the Tigers disappear. Is this because of poaching?  If so, stringent punishment to be given and the force should be enhanced with ultra modern machinery to track the Tigers and to save them from these poaching.

It’s shame that more than a billion people cannot save 1411 Tigers. I request you all to join these initiatives to save the remaining Tigers. Please act now…………
