About Me


Program of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
Save The Tiger Fund's trans-boundary approach focuses on strategic solutions with an emphasis on engaging local people as partners in this conservation effort. In such landscapes, where humans dominate, the quality of life depends on people’s capacity to respect and manage their environment. Tigers are at the top of these intricate ecosystems, and securing their survival is a significant step to ensure the ecological integrity and survival of all living things, including humans.

Conservation Strategy
Executive Summary

Wild Tigers are in a precarious state. Our best approximation concludes that tiger habitats throughout India, Indochina, and Southeast Asia are now 40% less than what we estimated in 1995. As the Economic Tigers of Asia leap onto the world stage, wild Tiger populations in those countries are in steep decline; today Tigers occupy a mere 7% of their historical range and the threats are mounting, rather than diminishing. Setting Priorities for the Conservation and Recovery of Wild Tigers:
2005 – 2015
The Technical Assessment - Executive SummaryThis landmark study is commissioned by the Save The Tiger Fund and produced by some of the worlds leading tiger scientists at World Wildlife Fund, Wildlife Conservation Society, the Smithsonians National Zoological Park and Save The Tiger Fund.

Tiger - Being extremely fast and powerful, its very name has
been derived from classical Greek root for 'arrow'.



From Time Immemorial, the Tiger has been an object of great awe, reverence and superstition. It has an overpowering presence and its strength and ferocity are proverbial. It is deeply interwoven in the folklore and mythology of a number of countries where it is also a symbol of bravery. In India, it is closely associated with a feared Hindu Goddess, Durga, the slayer of demons.Once hunted in the name of sport, the Tiger is now hunted illegally for profit and for traditional medicines. Human encroachment - for farming, human resettlement, mining, industrialisation and logging, and land lost by dams for irrigation and electricity - is pushing this amazing creature to the edge of extinction.It is feared that within the next two decades the Tiger's population may be reduced to a level lower than required for the genetic diversity essential for survival of the species.Unless the conscience of the world is stirred by the plight of this beautiful animal and its governments show genuine commitment to preventing its extinction, the Tiger may soon fade to just a memory.
From "The Vanishing Tiger", Vivek R. Sinha
"I personally do not believe in wildlife management – wildlife manage themselves. We can only manage humans. We can only communicate with humans, by telling them what they should do to provide a healthy environment for wildlife."

"The fundamental philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine is harmony and balance between nature and humans. Now there is no balance, because humans take too much from nature."

"Sadness of Gaia" by Josephine Wall
The Earth Goddess looks on sadly, aware that our human weaknesses will mean many years of education to prevent the ruin of our precious world.
The contents of her wings symbolize all the creatures that need protection. As always "Gaia" will be there to listen and to comfort, bringing with her the rainbow of hope.
The clouds are gathering around our world but she knows she must be strong and work to rectify mans errors, in the belief that he will one day understand that our precious earth deserves our protection.
Let us hope that one day soon "Gaia" will look upon the earth and be satisfied that her lessons have been learnt!
