Wildlife of India Project Tiger is a wildlife Conservation movement initiated in India in 1972 to protect the Bengal Tiger's. The project aims at tiger conservation in specially constituted tiger reserves representative of various biogeographical regions throughout India. It strives to maintain a viable population of this conservation reliant species in their natural environment.At the turn of the 19th century, one estimate of the tiger population in India placed the figure at 45,000.
The first ever all-India tiger census was conducted in 1972 which revealed the existence of only 1827 tigers. The landmark report, Status of the Tigers, Co-predators, and Prey in India, published by the National Tiger Conservation Authority estimates only 1411 adult tigers in existence in India (plus uncensused tigers in the Sundarbans). The project was launched in 1973 in Corbett national park, and various tiger reserves were created in the country based on a 'core-buffer' strategy
As a species, we humans are a colossal failure - a real misstep in evolution. How can you explain the intelligence of a species that is incessantly working towards its own extinction....progress? Yes, we have made "strides" here and there, but who really cares? Does the tiger care? I hope my blogs will make you think about every little action you take. Do that and you will go a long way in saving tigers
