Tigers and their life |

Tigers are the most charismatic and well known largest of all the Asian big cats. July 29 is being celebrated as International Tiger Day. Also known as Global Tiger Day or World Tiger Day, was established in 2010 at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit, Russia, as a step to spread awareness about the decline of wild tiger numbers in order to encourage the work of tiger conservation. According to WWF, around 3,900 wild tigers are left in the world as of today. About a century ago, there may have been over 100,000 tigers that roam in the planet. A conservational goal which is so ambitious was set up by the government of the 13 range countries including Nepal to double the number of wild tigers by 2022 fortunately Nepal has already announced in 2018 that there are now an estimated 235 wild tigers in the country, nearly doubling the baseline of around 121 tigers in 2009 . Tiger populations are under threat from prey depletion, tiger poaching and habitat degradation and fragmentation. These threats arise from a variety of factors linked to local rural uses as well as economic development projects. Essential challenge now lies in setting appropriate priorities in responding to these threats. In Nepal, fragmentation and loss of natural habitat and poaching are the major impediment to effective conservation. Several diseases are also the key factor. Several animals die and there is no way to ascertain the cause of their death. Certain diseases spread epidemic like Feline Panleukopenia, tuberculosis etc. As well as lack of protection infrastructure, lack of funds for the conservation of tiger is also one of the main reasons. If the tigers go extinct, the entire system would collapse. The tiger is a unique animal which plays a pivotal role in the health and diversity of an ecosystem. The forests are declining rapidly due to migration of people along with furniture and flooring manufacturers. This over-harvesting of trees reduces the supply of pine nuts and acorns, which are the main food sources for the tigers’ prey. Uncontrolled forest fires and agricultural burn-offs are also reducing the tiger’s habitat. All people should be conscious about them. people around the buffered zone should be educated about the importance of tiger and reason to protect them. A lot of awareness should be raised in the communities about wildlife management issues through continuous sensitisation by wildlife management committees. Community members are more conversant with the wildlife law and its provisions. There has been a change in attitude of community members from indiscriminate hunting to hunting of more available and less rare species. This is an indication of the level of awareness on the threads to wildlife in the area. Thus, Peoples’ active participation in the conservation of wildlife is critical for the survival of many endangered species and can serve as an important economic, social, and security engine for communities and individuals. Government role is indispensable for the conservation of tiger. Act and Rule for wildlife welfare should be properly implemented. They should frequently Monitor tiger numbers, population trends, and threats to tigers and their habitats. The wildlife management institution is responsible to carry out regular monitoring of the wildlife resource. The wildlife management institutions are responsible to carry out regular forest patrols to keep out poachers. Control activities involve destruction of illegal traps and the arrest of illegal hunters. Penalties for illegal hunters include confiscation of hunting equipment and fines. Now it is need to use innovative ways to combat wildlife crime using everything from drones to infrared cameras that can detect poachers in the dead of night. As I already mentioned, disease occurrence is the one of main challenge to increase population of tiger, only the veterinarian is the perfect solution to overcome this challenge. Effective training is crucial to ensuring real and long-lasting improvements in the veterinary aspects of any programme. They are committed to developing a comprehensive, coordinated, support programme with government, national and international animal organizations. Co-ordinately with them, they should conduct scientific research on tigers to help inform conservative strategies and can makes genetic and health assessments of samples from tigers also semen collection for endangered species for future use. The technical expectation from the field veterinarian amount to a greater extent in recent days and hence it become crystal clear that the newly deputed veterinarians from the Animal Husbandry department should recognize their specific responsibilities expected by forest managers. So, Humans are behind the current rate of species extinction, which is at least 100–1,000 times higher than nature intended. We’ve seen an astonishing 60% decline in the size of populations of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and other.
