                         Tigers

Tigers are endemic species now a day in the world. There are very few numbers of tigers remain to see. This is very sensitive matter. But these are not enough. There are many national parks and sanctuary in India to protect them. Conservation of wildlife is very important for all human being as it will produce imbalance in environment. 

One of the biggest reasons for the decline in their population is the destruction of their habitat. Humans cut down forests and convert them into agricultural farmlands or other towns. This means that the tigers are forced to wander into human territories, looking for food. Most interactions between humans and tigers almost always end in fatal consequences. Another major reason why the tiger population is dwindling is because of poaching.

With the population of tigers dwindling at an alarming rate, many countries across the world have launched campaigns that are designed to help increase the tiger population. One of the most important campaigns launched by India is the Project Tiger, which was launched by the first woman prime minister of India – Indira Gandhi. The project was very successful in its endeavor, tripping the number of Bengal tigers from 1,200 in 1973  to 3,500 1990. However, the numbers have significantly reduced again due to poaching.
