The Bengal tiger of India is one of just 5 remaining species of tiger in the world today. Their populations
are declining at an alarming rate and are threatened with imminent extinction in the wild. These declines have continued despite
the tiger being listed on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
(CITES).
All over India, key tiger areas are being destroyed for industrial concerns at the whim of politicians seeking
to line their own pockets. The direct result is a country that loses an average of one tiger a day from its dwindling population
to illegal poaching for trade, irreplaceable habitat loss and continuing prey decline.
By destroying the tigers' habitat,
you are also destroying the environment that local people depend on for food and water. The tiger is a symbol of the overall
health of India, its environment and its people. It’s mystical legend and beauty is the jewel in India’s crown.
We are all together on this magnificent planet and it is critical to protect the environment now, before it is too late.
