Indian tiger: please save me

India is the home to the Tiger. It has the largest concentration of Tiger population in the world. The National Symbol of India has been depicted from the Sarnath Lion Capital of Emperor Ashoka. The original sculpture has four lions on a pillar with an elephant, horse, bull, and lion separated by a lotus on the base. Also carved into the stone is a DharmaChakra.

Over the past century the number of tigers in India has fallen from about 40,000 to less than 4,000 (and possibly as few as 1,410). Relentless poaching and clearing of habitat for agriculture have been the primary drivers of this decline, though demand for tiger skins and parts for "medicinal" purposes has become an increasingly important threat in recent years. India needs its Tigers and we demand urgent action in the national interest and will of the common man. You and I are the Tigers last hope. India's history has seen its share of signatures in blood promising their lives for the honors of our country. We only ask for support to uphold the very existence of our national animal and to ensure its role not only in history but also in our future.

However the news is not all bad. Research published last year showed that if protected and given sufficient access to abundant prey, tiger populations can quickly stabilize. With India's large network of protected areas and continued funding from conservation groups like the Wildlife Conservation Society, the findings provide hope that tigers can avoid extinction in the wild. The other major species that is there which is known for the threat to its existence is the Again they are killed for their skin as well as for their bones which are used in medicines.

Why Save Tigers?

Our survival is dependent on the natural environment as it provides us with clean air, food and water. Tigers are at the apex of the food pyramid and are an indicator of a healthy environment. Tiger is symbol of wilderness and well-being of the ecosystem. By conserving and saving tigers the entire wilderness ecosystem is conserved. In nature, barring human beings and their domesticates, rest of the ecosystem is wild. Hence conserving wilderness is important and crucial to maintain the life support system. So saving tiger amounts to saving the ecosystem which is crucial for man's own survival. The tiger is not just a charismatic species. It’s not just a wild animal living in some forest either. The tiger is a unique animal which plays a pivotal role in the health and diversity of an ecosystem. It is a top predator and is at the apex of the food chain and keeps the population of wild ungulates in check, thereby maintaining the balance between prey herbivores and the vegetation upon which they feed. Will the current campaign really help? Will they be able to stop the hunting of the species? What have government agencies been doing for so long? Nothing concrete has been done on ground to save the forest cover first, and then no effective steps have been taken by these agencies to restrict the movement of human beings inside the jungles. Countries such as India and the United States began to pass laws that would help to keep the tigers of the world alive and in good health. India's laws restrict the hunting of tigers, and the United States has laws that prohibit the sale of items that are made with tiger body parts including fur rugs and blankets.

The reason why the Siberian Tigers are killed because of the fact that these have bones which are used in the making of the medicines as well as their skin is used for making of good fur clothes for winter use. Poachers all over the world keep track of the tigers and infiltrate the habitat of the tigers to kill them and then sell for thousand of dollars.

Indian government initiated a major project called the Project Tiger to make sure that the Tiger reserves were created in all parts of India. This was done to ensure that the Bengal Tiger has a habitat to live and it was saf` e from the rampant poaching that happened. Jim Corbett in India did a lot to show the plight of tigers in India and there is a national park in the name of Jim Corbett. The other major place where the tigers are known to be present is the Sunder bans area in Bengal and that area is considered to be the best for habitat of the tigers. Apart from these two main types of tigers there are other tigers like the Indochinese tigers as well as the Sumatran tigers which are struggling for their survival. Sumatran Tigers are found in the area of the Sumatra in Indonesia and their population is now considered to be in the range of about 1000 or so.

Tiger hunting is banned in almost all the countries. This has been done to ensure that the tigers do not become extinct. In fact a lot of governments have set up special parks and reserves with special protection in place to ensure that no poaching of tigers takes place. The writer is a nature lover and has a website on hunting and outdoors. He writes about tiger hunting in India.

Tiger hunting is banned in almost all the countries. This has been done to ensure that the tigers do not become extinct. People only need to be educated on what they can do to help keep tigers alive and well for generations to come.
