 Tiger
sightings have become quite rare these days
in India, reason being the Tiger killings
because of its multitude of medicinal or magical
properties that is why tiger trade is very
profitable. Genuinely the tiger skin is not
fashionable but the smuggling of Tiger fur
coats and rugs are not difficult for the impoverished
hunters. Even after the bans made by the government
warning not to gather even wood from the former
hunting grounds, poaching of tigers continue.
Still efforts are continuously made to preserve
these magnificent predators from extinction.
The Project tiger was launched in India in
1972 as conservation programme for saving
the Indian Tiger Population. Some of the best
examples of this programmes success can be
seen in the national parks situated in the
high Himalayan region, to the mangrove swamps
of the Sundarbans and the thorny scrubs of
Rajasthan. But more wildlife conservation
laws and awareness among people is still required
to make Indian sanctuaries a safe haven for
tigers.
