Another desperate attempt at protecting tigers
Today's TOI reports a letter sent by teh NTCA to 11 Tiger reserves arcoss the country to create a cordoned off core area for breeding of tigers. With the big cat disappearing at an alarming rate despite all the hype and subsequent efforts the NTCA is trying to come up with desperate measures to protect sustanable tiger populations. This move though has been slammed by Conservationists as ill conceived. According to experts quoted in the report, tigers cant be bred in a zoo type environment and the goverment (read NTCA) would be better of spending their resources in protecting tiger habitats and prevent poaching.
