Finally some breath into the efforts of wildlife conservationists."save our tigers" campaign launched by WWF-India in collaboration with Aircel is making waves all over the country thanks to its heartrending ad of stripey!!!social networking sites are buzzing with comments,discussions and suggestions.the campaign has touched the chord with the youngsters .if this wave reaches the doorsteps of the government then the conservation attempts can get the official backing which is pre-requisite...
recent news about the Chinese government considering the option of legalizing trade in tiger parts is a matter of concern.many consider it would be the last nail in the coffin...this legalization would be the 007 for the poachers-their license to kill.already the tiger population in china has come down to few hundreds,if the efforts are not materialized and stringent laws and their implementation are not made then i am sure India would become another china(at least in tiger population).
several institutions like National Tiger conservation Authority,Wildlife Institute of India etc are into the conservation and awareness.Yet, the sariska and panna incidents in 2009 show a grim picture of India's sincerity in protecting tigers.how pathetic is this....even after 37 years of launching "project tiger",our national animal is a threatened species.only 1411 left...we are already decades back in our endeavors.if not acted quickly then very soon our kids would be seeing tiger pictures like we see now dodo's and Dino's!!!
then where lies the solution???i shall discuss this in my xt blog!!
What's required is proper implementation, which as can be seen is rampant with corruption! 37 years is sure a long time for nothing concrete to have happened. I think we compromise and adjust quite a bit, so much so that we go on to do so on the quality of our lives too! What's a tiger then? A mere stripy symbol!
