Save our Tigers

Save our Tigers

Every one must take part, leading role for saving Tiger. Saving tiger dose not required to go to the woods or forest.

The main reasons for decreasing no of Tigers across the world:

1. Killing & hunting animals. Poaching tiger for making medicines from bone of tiger, for the rich skin, teeth and every part of this animal.
2. Human interference in forest. Illegally attacking forest land for civilization by human being. Occupying Tiger’s residential area for grazing cows, farming, cutting trees.

We “Common Man” can help the “Save Tiger” mission by doing very simple things in our day to day life and without going to forest.

Saving Water, controlling use of petrol, gas, coal, stop pollution, strictly following traffic rules, saving the electricity, stop using plastic bags, start planting. There are so many other small and tiny ways by which we can save our environment which indirectly can support the “Save Tiger” mission.

It’s our duty to Save Tigers so that tomorrow our children should not blame us that we failed to save the tiger and now it is available in the form of pictures and in the national museum a “dead skin filled with fiber”. To get rid of this circumstance we have to stand on our toes star with the Save Tiger mission at this moment only.
