The Indian wild tiger population is almost half of the entire world's wild tiger population. So, tigers are a source of attraction for international tourists and giving a boast to tiger tourism and thus can create employment opportunities.
THE BENGAL tiger, our national animal is endangered today and it would be a shame for us if we are unable to save our national animal.
However, many would think why to pay so much attention to a species which lives in far-away jungles, having no role to play in our daily lives?
Such people are actually devoid of real knowledge and need to be made aware of the real scenario.
So, what would happen without tigers?
We know tigers live in dense forests. We know trees are our life givers and forests are the only places where dense tree cover can be found. So, when we protect tigers we protect the entire habitat of the tiger and thus protect forests. Forests are a treasure cove for any country.
The tigers are top predators in a food chain. Extinction of tigers would put the whole chain into chaos and have devastating consequences.
The Indian wild tiger population is almost half of the entire world's wild tiger population. So, tigers are a source of attraction for international tourists and many villages in India can be developed by giving a boast to tiger tourism and thus can create employment opportunities for the people in the tourism industry.
Our inability to save our national animal-tiger would be a shame to our country.
Last but not the least, inability to save the tiger would reflect the inability of the human beings to live in a peaceful co-existence with fellow creatures of nature. No other species have destroyed so many lives as we humans have. Now, it is time we mend our mistakes.
