Sadha Instagram – On the occasion of International Tiger Day, that is celebrated globally on 29th July every year, here’s my heartfelt tribute to this magnificent & the most iconic species to have ever graced our Mother Earth. But sadly they are also one of the most endangered species. While 50 Years of Project Tiger is a milestone achieved in conservation of Tigers & increase in Tiger numbers is a good news that needs to be celebrated, the dwindling tiger habitat across the country is still a worrisome issue for the existence of our beloved National Animal. Let’s be aware, there can be no Tigers without a forest & no forest without Tigers.. Tigers play a pivotal role in the health and diversity of an ecosystem. Being an apex predator, the presence of tigers in the forest is an indicator of the well-being of our ecosystem. Thus, our existence & well being also directly depends on the existence of this powerful, yet vulnerable species. Ironically, the biggest threat to tigers is also us- humans. Each one of us (in a very small way), can contribute in the conservation of Tigers, simply by visiting the various Tiger Reserves & National Parks of our country. Tourism to these places provides source of income for local communities which thereby controls their involvement in any illegal activities that can be threatening to wildlife. The revenue generated from tourism also helps governments to fund conservation efforts such as anti-poaching patrols, habitat restoration, village relocations etc. This is the least we can do to protect the Pride of our Nation, our very precious ‘Tigers’! May their tribe increase! 🙏💚 #internationaltigersday #globaltigerday #worldtigerday #savetigers #tigersofindia #royalbengaltiger #tigerconservation #tadoba #pench #kanha #bandhavgarh #panna #corbett #dudhwa #satpura #pilibhit #tiger #tigers #projecttiger #savingourstripes #wildlifeconservation #habitat #bigcats #wildlifephotography #wildandfree Incredible India
