10 Ways to Save Tigers

Posted by Wendy Redal | Oct 7, 2010 | Conservation, Nature & Wildlife

On the Chinese calendar, 2010 is the Year of the Tiger, an ideal opportunity to draw global attention to the fact that there are fewer than 3200 tigers left in the wild, and threats to their continued survival are significant. World Wildlife Fund has set a goal of doubling the world’s wild tiger population before the next Year of the Tiger in 2022, even though less than 7 percent of the tiger’s original natural habitat remains.

If most people knew of the tiger’s plight, I’m sure the world would rally together to save these magnificent creatures. Can you help spread the word?

WWF has listed 10 ways to help nature lovers do that, from adding a tiger mask and paw prints to your Facebook profile via WWF’s clever application (with a link to WWF’s Save the Tiger campaign) to sending beautiful tiger-themed holiday cards.

If you’d like a personal encounter with tigers in their natural habitat, check out NHA’s Wild India trip. You’ll spend 4 nights at the Kanha Tiger Reserve, the best Bengal tiger-viewing place in India, along with visits to other superb wildlife parks on the subcontinent.

Thanks for caring about conservation,

Wendy

Tigers are so important to symbiosis they have all three types mutralism commencalism parasitism and our food chain will badly be affected in many ways. plus we will lose the largest apex preditor in the ecosystem which the tiger is par of. they are so majestic and beutiful even if they are dangerous they make the world much pettier!

I think that the most important step to save the tiger is sufficient food supply to the tiger in the forest.If weekly some goat or pig or deer we supply from outside to the deep forest as a food of hungry tiger then they will not come outside, and they will able to live a healthy life.For this purpose we should request our forest officer to make such a step urgently.

The best way to save tigers is in fact to protect the rights of the indigenous peoples who inhabit tiger reserves.
This has now been proven – see this extraordinary report by India’s NDTV

I am not happy about people not trying to save them. Even though some people are helpful, others are like:
” Whatever! We don’t care about some stupid cats that act like wild animals!’
We should actually try to save them! And the 10 ways to save tigers helped me out a lot when I did a project on Bengal Tigers, so tyvm for making that little paragraph above, Wendy.

  only 1411 tigers are remain in india so it is the time for taking major steps,in my view there may be 5 steps.
  1:reserve park for them.
  2:making awarness among people.
  3:by hard rules.
  4:by giving protection.
  5:by giving them sudden health care.
  thanks.
