The roars get louder to “SAVE OUR TIGER”

Well, this is a very serious topic for me. I always knew that the tiger population in our country is
dwindling fast but around two days back, I got to know that there are barely 1000 tigers in the
entire country. I never knew that there was such a strong animal activist in me, but the thought
has really, disturbed me a lot. I mean, just the thought that I may never be able to see this
gorgeous animal someday scares me! It is one of the most beautiful and majestic animal in the
world and even the thought that the extinct because of the carelessness of human beings really
bothers me.

I know you might be thinking that although you identify with the cause you do not always know
what to do or don’t know how to go about it. Well, even I can relate to this feeling but if you
have the will to do something for a cause, you will find out ways and do it.

For starters, you can “SPREAD THE MESSAGE”. All my friends who follow this blog can help by
spreading the word to as many people as they can. It won’t take more than five minutes to do
so, but it will go a long way to help save the
animal.

It is a sincere request to you to spread the


word for this cause! Also, if you don’t mind
spending about three rupees, you can SMS
TIGER to 56388 or visit [Link] and sign the
online petition to save the tiger. I don’t know
how many people I will be able to reach and
convince or how many will take this seriously.
Some may even laugh at me while some others
might think, “How can my message make any
difference?” But believe me, it will. Even if you
feel that your message won’t make any difference but the least you can do is TRY. It’s our last
chance or else we may lose this wonderful, exotic animal forever.

“Saving one animal


won’t change the
World,
But it will change
the World
India has been home to Tigers for a very long time. If one has seen a tiger, you would agree that
it is an awe-inspiring beauty, with a powerful aura. Tigers were found across India and still as
many as 16 States are proud homes to these wild cats. The latest Government of India census
report released on 12th February, 2008 reports that there are only 1411 tigers left. The
population of the tigers has been reduced by nearly half and that too in a short period of 6 to 7
years. It is time that emergency and drastic steps are taken to save the pride of the jungle and
pride of India from becoming extinct. The causes of the sudden decrease in the tiger population
are well known, both by the government and us common people. The increasing pressure on
tiger habitats due to agriculture, industrialization and degradation as well as fragmentation of
natural habitats, forests and natural grasslands are one of the main reasons for the decrease of
tiger population. This encroachment has, for that matter all wildlife in India.

The immediate effect of this is lack of natural food and habitat causes the wild animals to come
out of the forest area. This tends to increase the conflicts between the humans and animals.
The other reason that contributes negatively is poaching, which has been on rise recently.
There is a slogan I have been hearing for quite some time, "If the buying stops, the selling will
stop". I think the rich people who are the only one who can afford buying the skins for their
fancies are probably inhuman, as they cannot seem to hear the slogan. Can they not hear the
slogan “Save tigers, save our Earth”!
