save tigers
Tigers are unique animals, and they play an integral role in the diversity of the ecosystem.
Today, tigers are endangered, and their extinction would demonstrate an unprotected ecosystem that would also not exist for a long time after that. So, the question now lies, “What would happen if tigers suffer extinction?” Let’s take the example of Dodos, a species that suffered extinction in Mauritius. When that happened, a species of the Acacia trees stopped regenerating entirely. This means that when a specific species suffer the fate of extinction, it does not do so without leaving behind a scar, thereby affecting the ecosystem in its entirety. This is another compelling reason to save tigers from going extinct. Below are astonishing facts.
Saving tigers has become the necessity of the hour if we want to protect wildlife, of which a tiger is a big symbol.
In the past century, the tiger population has gone down by 97 percent.
Project save tiger was an effort to restore the safe environments of tigers which are numbered at around 3000 currently.
The Jim Corbett National park where this project was introduced is the most significant tiger reserve in India focused on preserving the tiger.
The objective of that project was to increase the number of tigers that presently exist.
Historically hunting tiger was seen as a thing of pride and bravery. Even now many old palaces seem to boat pictures of a tiger hunt and sometimes even display the tiger skin. Due to laws against hunting many instances of tiger hunting has come down.
Tiger has been declared the national animal of India to so that even one instance of tiger poaching or hunting will be seen as an unpatriotic act and the punishment is severe.
Save tiger has a special place of importance for India as a land of Tigers and we must be committed to it. It is not just about protecting a beautiful animal. We should contribute to saving the lives of tigers so that we can also live just a little longer, thanks to the ecological services provided by forests such as clean air, temperature regulation, and water.
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.
