Alarming rise in Tiger deaths in India

National Animal Tiger

Since our childhood we are taught about National Game, National Flag, National Bird, National Flower and National Animal. Yes Our National Animal is TIGER. But unfortunately and careless attitude of everyone had created a big problem for this species. Due to poaching only few hundred tigers remained in the country. Last Year Prime Minister himself intervene after media news that now no tiger is present in famous sanctuary 'Sariska'. But now it seems to be a old story and news whose everyone has forgotten. Some important questions are

1. Latest status about tigers in Sariska?

2. How many peoples who done poaching/illegal trade of Tiger skin/bones/etc. sent behind bars?

3. What is the total progress regarding rehabilitation of Tigers?

4. Is there any increase in numbers of Tigers.

5. How much funds used for Tigers conservation.

To save this endangered species break your silence, show your support, talk about it, blog to save them and again force the government to review the progress.

National Animal (Tiger)

From last few years our National Animal Tiger had been illegally killed on large scale by poachers for its skin, skull and bones. There are only 1,500 tigers (approx. figure) in India's reserves and jungles—down from about 3,600 just few years ago and an estimated hundred thousand a century ago, according to the government. Experts say tigers are killed for their pelts and body parts to make supply for Chinese traditional medicine market is a very big reason in the sharp decline of wild tigers in last few years. Trade of tiger’s body parts, skull, skin etc. is banned under the UN Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES. One of the famous sanctuary ‘Sariska’ now do not have any Tiger as per the reports. Poaching had reached a level that Prime Minister himself has to intervene and initiated a mission to protect Tigers. A tiger's function in the scheme of things is to help maintain the balance in nature and if we do not take action to save the endangered species of Tigers immediately we will lost important part of our natural cycle. Awareness to save the tigers is very low among common peoples and urbanization must be done in a manner so that it does not affect the natural habitat of any species.
