Why is tiger population dwindling in India?What measures have so fa been taken to control it?Why is it necessary to conserve tiger population?
Answers
Answer:
The Indian government is running a campaign to save the tigers, as there are only 1,411 left in the country, according to reports.
Explanation:
The most significant reason for the population decline is an age-old issue: poaching using poisoned goat as bait. Aldrin, a powerful pesticide, was used to kill two 15-18 month old tiger cubs in a recent incident at Ranthambhore National Park, a popular tourist destination. According to reports, the villagers acted out of vengeance in this case. Hearing this, Jungle Lore, a Mumbai-based conservation organisation, swung into action. They have packed their belongings and moved to Ranthambhore in order to educate the villagers. Celebrities, athletes, politicians, and movie stars have all been recruited to help promote the campaign. The perception that Chinese men create demand for tiger body parts for aphrodisiacal purposes, thus the poaching, is the greatest threat to the tiger population. To combat poaching, the Indian government recently approached the Chinese government, asking them to join India in its efforts to monitor and close the routes of smugglers and poachers. With this aggressive campaign, billboards abound, urging people to become aware of the issue and, as a result, contribute to the cause. The message appears to be resonating, as the issue has spread to schoolchildren and is a frequent topic of discussion.
