1411

That's how many Tigers are left in India.


Just to put things in perspective…

1. There is 1 tiger for every 830,000 people in our country.
2. There is 1 tiger for every 5 square kilometers of "Tiger preserve" marked reserve forest.
3. There is 1 tiger for every 100 kilometers within India's Wildlife Sanctuaries.

Let's face it. As a people and as a race, we are not helping the environment. And I know it is easy to say that this is all talk and that nothing happens in this country and that nobody does anything. But think about it. Even if two people read this blog, and those two people tell it to two more people, who tell it to two more people, eventually we will have together raised a lot of awareness and hopefully some action to solve this problem.

After all, this is the Year of the Tiger (according to the Chinese calendar) and we owe it to every single species that shares this planet with us.

If you have a better idea, please share it and we can all get behind it. If you don't, the least you can do is spread the word and increase awareness. Help me.
