Save The Tiger – Save The Biodiversity

Aim :- To show that Save the tigers – Save the Biodiversity.Required material:-•A plywood board•Plaster of Paris•Thermacoal sheet•Drawing paper•Some Toys of Animals

Presentation:- What is biodiversity? biodiversity stands for 'the multitude of animal and plant species'.

The biodiversity found on Earth today consists of many millions of distinct biological species. The year 2010 has been declared as the International Year of Biodiversity & year of Tiger

Why is biodiversity important?

Like other species, mankind and her environment depend on nature for countless matters. Food, water, and medicines for example, are ingredients taken from nature which we require in our daily lives.Especially in our food production, our dependence on nature is apparent

Biodiversity & TigerNo Tigers = No Forests = No biodiversity =No clean Air & Water = No You & Me

a. National Prideb. Preserving nature’s balance

c. Ensuring our ecological security

d. Preserving something irreplaceable

e. Ethical reason

Why save the tigers :-1. Tiger Supports Livelihood

2. Tiger Protects Genetic Diversity

3. Tiger brings Rain

4. Tigers Prevent Climate Change

5. Tiger is a symbol of our National Pride

F. Role in food web

Tiger is a perfect  carnivore   and feeds on a variety of wild animals.At times though it has been seen to feed on grasses for dietary fibre with the fruit of the slow march tree beingthe favourate .The diet  a tiger usually consists of 35  to 90 pounds of meat in one sitting and if the hunt is not finished being eaten, the tiger returns to the carcass  when it feels hungry. The tiger di et consists of the following   that constitues portion of  the tiger food web .  

Tiger Food chain

be defined as  process of the transfer of energy  from one  trophic level toFood chain can another   through the process of eating and being eaten.The different  members in each trophic level either act as predators or consumers  and finally the decomposers  set in to  decompose the organic remains and return the elements to nature.There  are different types of  food chains like Tiger food chain in forest, grazing food chain, detritus food chain and parasitic food chains, aquatic food chains etc.

Constitutional Provisions

48A. Protection and improvement of environment and safeguarding of forests and wild life.—The State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wild life of the country.

51A. Fundamental duties.— It shall be the duty of every citizen of India— (g) to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life, and to have compassion for living creatures;

Reasons for Extinction

•Deforestation & Habitat loss :-

Across all of Asia, vast forests have been cleared for agriculture. As forest space diminishes, tigers can't find the prey they need to survive. As a result, tigers have begun to eat the livestock belonging to villagers. Three sub-species have become extinct in the last 60 years - the Bali, Caspian and Java tigers. Nearly half of all wild tigers belong to the Bengal sub-species, found in India and several of its neighbors. .

Not Only a Tree is Cut Down

•Poaching :-

tiger's coat sells for as much as $20,000 on the black market. Tiger bones, claws, eyes and even the whiskers command high prices for use in Eastern potions and elixirs. To fulfill the demand, the world's last tigers are being illegally trapped, poisoned and shot by the poachers and then smuggled across international boundaries. To protect their livestock villagers kill the tigers

For Medicines-

•The demand for remedies made from tiger parts has increased due to increasing affluence in Asia, and laws preventing international trade in tiger parts are largely ignored. Hong Kong is the main importer of tiger products, with tiger bone the most used part. The bones are crushed to be used in anti-inflammatory drugs for rheumatism and arthritis, amongst many other uses. The trade in tiger skins is also increasing Tigers are poached for their highly prized skins and body parts, which are used in traditional Chinese medicine

Climate Change

•----The recent phenomenon of global warming is also considered to be a major threat to global biodiversity.[example coral reefs -which are biodiversity hotspots- will be lost in 20 to 40 years if global warming continues at the current trend An expected sea level rise of 28 cm above 2000 levels may cause the remaining tiger habitat in the Sundarbans to decline by 96 percent, pushing the total population to fewer than 20 breeding tigers, according to the study

•Human activities are the principal cause of declining tiger numbers. Hunting was a major cause of mortality in the past; both for trophies and as part of organised pest control measures

Effect on the Biodiversity1 ).Tigers need extensive, intact landscapes and act as an umbrella species — by saving tigers you save other plants and animals that share their range.

2 ).Tigers…are predestined by their perch at the top of the food web to be big in size and sparse in numbers. They live on such a small portion of life’s available energy as always to skirt the edge of extinction, and they are the first to suffer when the ecosystem around them starts to erode.”There are about 3,200 tigers left on Earth. Four species of tigers have already faced complete extinction, which leaves five species to be saved. Fortunately, the United Nations has named 2010 the “Year of Biodiversity,” and has created a list of ten critically important species that are to be watched closely during the next 12 months — the tiger is number one on that list.

The 2010 Year of the Tiger will mark an important year for conservation efforts to save wild tigers, with WWF continuing to play a vital role in implementing bold new strategies to save this magnificent Asian big cat

Steps ,How to Save tigers

a)Protect forests:- In order to save tigers forests need to be protected. Apparently the species are becoming extinct because of the loss of their natural habitat.

“Do not cut down the  forest with its tigers and do not banish the tigers from the forest; the tiger perishes without the forest and the forest perishes without its tigers”  - Mahabharata, 400 BCE, Udyogaparva

b) Stop poaching

By government

•Project Tiger -In the late 1960s, Guy Mountfort, an English conservationist and a founder of World Wildlife Fund (now called World Wide Fund for Nature), was able to convince Prime Minister Indira Gandhi that the status of the tiger was so precarious in India that urgent steps had to be taken to pull it back from the brink of extinction.

• Tiger Reserves- Initially, 9 Tiger Reserves were created under Project Tiger. Today, there are 38 Tiger Reserves in 17 states. For more information on Project Tiger, visit http://projecttiger.nic.in/

•Constitutional Provisions 48A. Protection and improvement of environment and safeguarding of forests and wild life.—The State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wild life of the country.
