Save Tiger
Yet another helpless animal species has fallen prey to man’s greed. The tiger population depletion at an alarming rate is a real concern. According to a recent survey, one tiger is being poached every day. If the present state of affairs is allowed to continue, the next generation will not get to see the majestic animal even in the zoo.
Tigers are at the top of the food chain. They are considered as the indicator of the health of the eco system. They are found in a wide range of habitats, from the evergreen and monsoon forests to the mixed coniferous - deciduous woodlands and the mangrove swamps of the Sundarbans, shared by India and Bangladesh.
In order to save this precious species of big cats, Project Tiger a wildlife conservation project was launched in India in 1972 to protect the Tigers. Launched on April 1, 1973 the project has become one of the most successful wild life conservation projects. The project aims at increasing Tiger population in various bio - geographical regions throughout India. The main achievements of this project are commendable recovery of the habitat which has led to increase in the tiger population in the reserve areas, from a mere 268 in 7 reserves in 1972 to above one thousand in 28 reserves in 2006. Owing to the project, the number of tigers has improved to 2,226 as per the latest census report released on 20 January 2015.
However, in order to save the rare cat from extinction, it is just a humble beginning. People, the Government, and the Save Tiger Activists further need to act concertedly to ensure tiger population further proliferate and prosper. The Save Tiger Activists in collaboration with Government should make a task force to save the tigers by keeping round the clock watch on tiger reserves and habitats.
Answer:
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.
