Global Tiger Day: Their survival is in our hands

by Bal krishna Pandey | 30-07-2020 01:39 recommendations 0

Tigers, the real boon of god sent to glorify the natural beauty is one of the symbol of robustness, command, power for the human. The king of the ecosystem, the administrator on which the life of our environment depends is in threat. Their right to live is not tolerated by human. Human kill the tigers to save their lives but who forces the tigers to come to us and attack us are we. Human think that god only gave them the right to live in this nature and start doing everything they want without caring others. We are always afraid of tigers, and we are sure if they encounter us we are killed for sure. This might also be the reason to kill the tigers by the people. Tigers are of great demand outside. Their bones are used to make medicines to cure insomnia and malaria to meningitis and bad skin. Tiger bone wine is very expensive and people are always eager to take that at any cost. People take this hoping they get the strength like the tiger after taking that. Tiger penis is sold at very high amount in many Chinese restaurants. Their bone meal tea exceeds the price of heroin. This increasing demand of the products is encouraging the hunters to hunt the tigers. With the increasing rate of population, urbanization, industrialization, building roads, unplanned developmental process, the life of tiger is under the threat. The shrinking forest, diminishing prey, and increased poaching are threats for this species. In Arabs they are tamed as pets, in Asia, they are sold in the black market. The tiger number in Nepal is only 242. The number of wild tigers in the country has almost doubled in the last decade, giving hope to conservationists fighting to save the wild cats from extinction. The latest tiger census report puts the number of big cats at 235, nearly double from the recorded 121 tigers in 2009, making Nepal the first country on track to meet the international goal of doubling the tiger population by 2022. The current growth of tiger population is a landmark achievement for the country. However, the global tiger population is so small that they will be gone soon if we don¡¯t wake up to the crisis. The major threat to the conservation approach is illegal hunting. From whiskers to the skin they are traded to different parts. The demand for the same is so high that even strict government rules are unable to provide absolute protection. To save this species we need to decrease this demand, we must remember for every coat we wear, a tiger was killed. The next antagonist in tiger conservation is fragmented wild habitat. A male tiger has a territory of 100-150km2. No other can invade the area till the one die. Because of our shrinking forest area, they are squeezed to a few square km. This directly affects their natural behavior and breeding capacity. This is also the cause of vanishing of thousands of tigers these days.

It is believed that if any of the species is going to be extinct then it is one of the forward step for the extinct of the human. The change in behavior of human can save the life of this beautiful species. Tiger conservation is the ultimate conservation. Since we need to conserve different interlinking food wave and food chains for the successful conservation effort of tigers. The delicate balance between these food waves and food chains make the task more challenging. Decreasing food or increasing invaders can affect the process as a whole. Various plans and policies formulated and executed by the government and local support towards tiger conservation can make a positive change. For the same, we need to take a holistic approach. We should always consider this globe a happy home for all species.

    Hi Bal krishna Pandey, this is a mentor, Sang Su Lee.

    I am so glad that Nepal has met the goal of doubling the tiger population. Tiger is indeed a beautiful, but scary wild animal. It is unfortunate that the population of the tiger is diminishing sharply as years pass by. I really hope that humans find way to coexist with wild animals in the future.

    Green cheers~

    Hello Bal krishna Pandey, this is mentor Taehyun!

    Thank you for the introduction about Tiger Day! It is true that not only tigers but also other endangered species today are very, very important as part of the Earth's ecosystem. We should always be interested in a variety of living things and be wary of its population, distribution, and so on and take appropriate action. It's a human thing, so we're the only ones who can handle it.

    Thank you for the report!

    Green cheers!

    Ahlan Bal krishna Pandey!
    Greetings from UAE

    First off, congratulations on this post. I completely agree with the fact that the tigers are endangered, or in danger of disappearing from the wild. This is primarily attributed to poachers killing tigers for their body parts and habitat destruction as humans use tigers' property.

    Off to share!
    Sincerely
    Rafa
