This blog is a humble contribution towards increasing awareness about problems being faced wrt Tiger Conservation in India. With the Tiger fast disappearing from the radar and most of us looking the other way the day is not far when the eco system that supports and nourishes us collapses. Citizen voice is an important tool that can prevent the disaster from happening and this is an attempt at channelising the voice of concerned nature lovers.

Still living in denial - MP govt says only 4 tigers in Panna lost to poaching !!
If things werent bad enough already, the minister of forests for MP made a statement in the assembly citing age, rivalry and poisoning as the main causes for tigers disappering from Panna. Read between the lines and the message is that the goverment doesnt think there is a serious problem which means there isnt any need for forceful corrective measures to be taken. Imagine all the rucus of the last few years and we still have law makers either turning a blind eye to the problem or worse still acting in concert with the land/poaching/industry mafia to rid the states of forest cover.
