Save our Tigers

Tiger is India's national animal. But sadly it is becoming endangered because, it is poached for its body parts to cater to an illegal market. Another reason is habitat loss due to depletion of forest cover due to interference of humans and encroachment of forest land by people causing fragmentation. Famous Bengal tiger is already declared as endangered species.

By conserving and saving tigers the entire wilderness of ecosystem is conserved. Conserving wilderness is important and crucial to maintain the life support system. Today approximately 1400 tigers are surviving in India. There are several Tiger Reserves in India but man's greed even crosses those boundaries. Please join Save our Tiger initiative.


Above snap of tiger is taken at Bannerghatta National Park. This park is at a distance of around 21 kms from Bangalore city.

  3. The big cat has expended a lot of energy in his quest for food and securing his territory. A well deserved rest in the cooling shade is sin order!

  5. Saving and conserving wildlife has never been more important than it is now. When a species is lost its gone forever and mankind is poorer for its disappearance.

    Nice snap you have here of a beautiful beast!

  7. These are such wonderful creatures and it would be a tragedy if they were to become extinct. It is so sad that we are destroying our world - or at least some greedy entrepreneurs are so doing.

  12. Awareness is necessary for conservation but it should be just aim. Poaching do happen in connivance of the local population because they are not compensated for their habitat loss...read mine on this one

  28. Beautiful animal.. Save the habitat save the animal. Every little bit helps.Thanks for the post

  29. Simply love the big cats

    I am not sure how the save the tiger imitative is going to make a difference unless the problem of poaching is solved.

    Creating awareness in urban cities is not going to make a difference unless the forest is protected from poachers and sellers.

  37. Amazing photo of this amazing animal. But sad that media is just spreading the word instead of actually taking any action. We all can discuss, but how many of us have taken at least an initiative?
