Why We Should Save Tiger???
Saving the tiger means saving mankind
Not only is tiger a beautiful animal but it is also the indicator of the forest's health.
Saving the tiger means we save the forest since tiger cannot live in places where trees
have vanished and in turn secure food and water for all.
If we make sure tigers live, we have to make sure that deer, antelope and all other
animals that the tiger eats (its prey base) live. To make sure that these herbivores
live, we must make sure that all the trees, grass and other plants that these prey
animals need for food are protected. In this way, the whole forest gets saved! Saving
the tiger means saving its entire forest kingdom with all the other animals in it.
Also forests catch and help store rainwater and protect soils. In this way we protect
our rivers and recharge groundwater sources. Areas with less trees lead to floods,
killing people and destroying homes. It takes away the precious soil, leaving behind a
wasteland. The soil jams up our lakes and dams, reducing their ability to store water.
By destroying the tiger's home, we not only harm tigers, but also ourselves.
Do Not Kill Tigers
There are five different kinds or sub-species of tiger alive in
the world today.
Types of Tigers:
Earlier there were 8 kinds of tigers but human killing has left
only 5 kinds of them. These are
1. Amur (Siberian) tigers
2. Royal Bengal tigers
3. Indo - Chinese tigers
4. South China tigers
5. Sumatran tigers
Stop The Bleeding
• Ramp up anti-poaching
measures.
• Maintain and enforce laws
banning tiger products.
• Restrict and monitor tigers in
captivity across the globe.
Protect Tiger Habitat
• Protect existing parklands, establish new
protected areas for tigers and create
corridors that connect parklands and
allow tigers to roam to find adequate
• WWF is engaging with the timber, paper
and agricultural industries and
encouraging them to implement
sustainable practices that reduce habitat
destruction and degradation.
Tiger Science
• Continue critical tiger wildlife
research and monitoring techniques,
which help improve tiger
conservation methods, reduce
human-tiger conflict, and keep track
of which tiger populations need the
most help.
Reduce Human-Tiger
Conflict
• Provide innovative solutions and
educational programs to reduce
conflict between tigers and local
communities.
How Can We Help The
Tiger???• Start a Tiger Club in our school.
• Visit Tiger Reserves with your family to know more about tiger conservation.
• Learn all you can about tigers, and teach others about the threats to tigers.
Teaching people about the dangers tigers face is an important part of bringing
about change.
• Raise money and make a donation to a tiger conservation organization.
• Kids can teach people about the plight of tigers and raise money to help support
tiger conservation. Let's look at the following example:
• A "kids for tigers" campaign in India has got support of one million children &
has entered the Limca Book of Records in November 2000. If you and your
friends and classmates get involved in tiger conservation, let us know what your
doing - we'd love to hear from you!
