Why save Tigers?

Now that I have promised to create awareness, where to start?

OK .Now the first question that most people are going to ask is why at all save tigers?

They are furious animals, the wild beasts having no human use. Or do they?

                ‘Human-Use’ is an important element in building our conception about anything.

It is just working around the periphery of this element that we are creating a new universe!

It is generally this factor we use to decide the fate of the ‘non-humans!’

But fortunately we have a positive answer for the people asking whether tigers have a

‘human-use’ or not. Yes, they have.

                Because without them we wont be living here in this ‘beautiful’ world for long!

And why is it so? Let us forget about the tigers for now. You all will agree that water is very important to sustain life,

especially the freshwaters. It is used for our drinking, farming and plays a crucial role

in making our planet the luckiest to sustain life. These are the veins of our earth.

                And from where do we get this ‘life blood’?  Not every country has the bonus of having the Himalayan glaciers. If you look carefully, you will find that prime source of these freshwaters are our forests. They yield more water than our glaciers. Notice that if there was no Amazon forest there would be no Amazon River.

And now coming to tigers, they protect our forests. They check the population explosion of other species like monkeys, wild boars. These species overgraze our forests and overrun them. Wherever people have killed leopards and tigers farmers have suffered large scale damage to their crops from monkeys and their likes. Many have stopped farming.Tigers guard us from this nuisance. They are the crucial link to our lives.

                We all need water for our crops .All life on the planet needs water for survival. Forests play a crucial role in the maintaining the hydrological cycle that insures a sustainable water regime. So let us save our forests .Save our tigers!
