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.

Kanha's spate of tigers killings in territorial fights continues
After another death of a tigeress whose half eaten body was found by park rangers, the reserve has become prime example of how shrinking space is leading the big cats into killing each other frequently. Although such killings in the wild are not uncommon but this is one in a series of such incidents reported in the park this year. Earlier in September a tigress was similarly found dead, mauled possibly by a rival in a territorial fight. With forests disappearing rapidly and tigers being solitary animals the little space they are being made to share with each is turning them on other. More than 8 tigers have been reported dead in Kanha this year alone some due to above mentioned incidents. With large forests areas and tiger reporting a drop in tiger populations it might not be a bad idea for the govt to secure them and think of relocating tigers from parks such as Kanha.
