One of the most ferocious and fascinating species of wildlife, the tiger has always conquered people’s imagination. Imagine if future generations did not get a chance to know the royal animal of jungle. It is sad but true that the tiger is facing extinction. Several subspecies, like the Bengal, the Sumatran and the South China tigers, have been designated as endangered species.
The decline of this majestic animal is due to poaching for its fur, deforestation and encroachment into their habitat. Our country has the maximum number of wild tigers in the world. But over population has led to a constant conflict between man and animal. As the numbers dwindled, a conservation effort called Project Tiger was set up in 1973.
Project Tiger has been a successful venture in preserving the existing number of wild tigers. It aims at preventing and fighting poachers, developing tiger reserves and preservation of the jungles ecosystem. Making people aware of the danger to our national animal is the only way by which the tiger can regain its lost glory.
