According to WWF, Tigers are amongst the ten most endangered species in the world. Over the last century more than 95% of the Tiger population has been wiped out & three sub-species are already extinct. Less than 3500 tigers remain in the wild today with around 50% in India & their numbers are declining fast. The tiger is a unique animal which plays a pivotal role in the health and diversity of an ecosystem : The tiger is a unique animal which plays a pivotal role in the health and diversity of an ecosystem Slide 4: At the turn of the 20th century, according to sources, India had an estimated 40,000 tigers in the wild. In 2002, based on pug mark census, this number was 3,642. As per the monitoring exercise by Wildlife Institute of India in association with National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), Government of India using camera traps, in 2008 we were left with only 1,411 tigers. This number is so small that they will be gone soon if we don’t wake up to the crisis. Slide 6: 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. Therefore the presence of tigers in the forest is an indicator of the well being of the ecosystem. The extinction of this top predator is an indication that its ecosystem is not sufficiently protected, and neither would it exist for long thereafter. With one tiger, we protect about a 100 sq. km of forest : With one tiger, we protect about a 100 sq. km of forest TIGER DISTRIBUTION AROUND THE WORLD : TIGER DISTRIBUTION AROUND THE WORLD Slide 9: If the tigers go extinct, the entire system would collapse. When we protect one tiger, we protect about a 100 sq. km of area and thus save other species living in its habitat. Therefore, it’s not just about saving a beautiful animal. It is about making sure that we live a little longer as the forests are known to provide ecological services like clean air, water, pollination, temperature regulation etc. This way, our planet can still be home to our children. Another reason why we need to save the tiger is that our forests are water catchment areas. Slide 11: Spread the word: Go out loud and tell others that tigers are dying and that they need our help. You can form forums (or join existing ones) on the web for discussions and exchange views on tiger conservation. Reach school going children. WWF can help you in this regard. Be a responsible tourist: The wilderness is to be experienced and not to be disturbed and polluted. Follow the forest department guidelines when visiting any wilderness area, tiger reserve in particular. As the saying goes' Don't leave thing anything behind except foot steps, and don’t take anything except memories.’ Reducing pressure on natural resources: By reducing the use of products derived from forests, such as timber and paper. Slide 13: No Tigers = No Forests = No clean Air & Water = No You & Me Slide 14: THANK YOU You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
