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.

To save Tiger we need to save all 6 populations
An interesting report in The Indian Express today cites a study conducted by the WII which found 6 distinct Tiger populations across the country. These populations have evolved as a result of adaptations to local conditions. so for instanc Tiger population in the himalyan region will be very different from teh ones in western ghats of South India. The study suggests avioding misxing of these populations less we end up with progeny which is not adapted to survive local conditions.
