Saving the tiger means saving mankind.

 Not only is tiger a beautiful animal but it is also the indicator of the forest's health. Saving the

tiger means we save the forest since tiger cannot live in places where trees have vanished and in

turn secure food and water for all.

If we make sure tigers live, we have to make sure that deer, antelope and all other animals that

the tiger eats (its prey base) live. To make sure that these herbivores live, we must make sure that

all the trees, grass and other plants that these prey animals need for food are protected. In this

way, the whole forest gets saved! Saving the tiger means saving its entire forest kingdom with all

the other animals in it.

Also forests catch and help store rainwater and protect soils. In this way we protect our rivers

and recharge groundwater sources. Areas with less trees lead to floods, killing people and

destroying homes. It takes away the precious soil, leaving behind a wasteland. The soil jams up

our lakes and dams, reducing their ability to store water. By destroying the tiger's home, we notonly harm tigers, but also ourselves.

The tiger thus becomes the symbol for the protection of all species on our earth since it is at the

top of the food chain. This is why we sometimes call the tiger, an apex predator, an indicator of 

our ecosystem's health

Minister of India, Manmohan Singh in 2005, has also alerted all poaching

networks. But, all legal practices resulted in vain. As of now, out of the 40,000 accumulations of tigers in the last century, a mere few are left. 

The Global Tiger Workshop conducted in 2009 highlighted the main drive forthe sharp acknowledgement in the individual population.

Excessive poaching for illegal trade, habitat loss and fragmentation are the

reasons behind the plight of these wild animals. The creation of traditional

penalization is in this world. Way back, in 1991, Chinese polity hit disclosed

the export of individual bone medicines, that included 15079 cartoons of 

tablets, 5250 kg of liquid syrups and 31500 bottles of wine.

Add to this, a most recent study organized by WWF(World Wild Fund) in2010, stressed on the gist of climate change on the Royal Bengal Tiger. It

has been estimated that by 2070, the sea-level will upraise to 11.2 inchesabove 2000 levels and may gulp the entire mangrove forest, of Sunderban

National Park (West Bengal).In this era these types of issues are popping up

with or without concern. We, human-beings are the exclusive species who

are able to fight against some odds. Let us not cut down the wild habitat andbuild dream-like houses for ourselves. Let us be answerable and put on

prizewinning efforts to hold and maintain our earth's ecological balance.

The heart-touching visual of the advertisement ends leaving a question mark

on our mind. But, can we afford to leave the issue without support? It is hightime to center the cry of our national animal and permit them to live. 'Save

Our Tigers' - Their end indicates the beginning of our end.
