APPEALHave you ever known an entity that encompasses Power, Passion, Adventure & Majesty all in a single stride?
Such is the enigma of the Tiger! Revered as 'the guardian of the forest' and worshipped as the vehicle of Indian gods & goddesses; the tiger is rightly deemed the National animal of India! Yet a nation 1.09 Billion people strong, has failed to safe-guard the life of that very animal from which it has imbibed pride & prowess!
With less that 1400 tigers left in India's forests, (40% of the entire world's tiger population) the mighty cat faces enormous threats from poaching, habitat loss & human encroachment in the wild. The survival of the tiger is crucial to our ecology and subsequently to our survival!
Today this prized possession of India's wildlife stands at the verge of extinction & it is upto us, the citizens of India, to come to the rescue of our National animal! Although, the Government of India, led by Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh, has begun responding to the distress call, as citizens, we still bear the responsibility to carry forward the momentum for conservation. Let us remind remind the Govt. of India, its citizens & ourselves that we will not forget this issue, until our National Animal has been returned to its former glory! This is an appeal to parents, children & youth alike - Exercise your Power, Uphold India's Pride, Save the Tiger!
