India is facing a big threat from Poachers killing Royal Bengal tigers for medicines, I appeal all nature lovers to raise a voice against this and try to communicate that using Tiger bones for medicines is of no use its just a myth.
 
We all need to act fast and educate all to save Tigers from poachers.

Unfortunately, tiger poaching is still a problem. They are killed for medicine but also for fur. China’s plans to run ‘tiger farms’ to supply legal pelts for the industry can only be bad news for wild tigers as poachers will now have a market sell their illegally gained furs. Furs are also becoming something of a status symbol in Tibet.

 

One of the ways to combat poaching is through tiger safaris and wildlife tourism. By making tigers valuable by bringing in tourist revenue, governments and officials are given more of an incentive to protect them. Education is an important part of conservation but sadly money has more of an effect. So by making these tigers worth more alive than dead we are greatly increasing their changes of survival.

Let's do somethings to protect the big jungle cat. I am suppose that just positive thinking and spraid the words of mouth towards the preservaton of tiger will do somethings. Lets start from protecting the jungle which will save the habitat of tiher and discourage the poaching and buying of such things.
I am in favour of convincing the people that making many laws and order. Because when the local are concerned about the protection of tihger it will work.
As Holly we have to give them a clear picture that one live tiger can give many times more value than kiling it by illigal way.
Ltets us do somethings which will makes us responsible and our earth will live for the next generation as we have received form our past generations.
