As a matter of fact, tigers are the top predator in the food chain that keeps the eco-system going in the tropical jungles of Asia. Due to human misdeeds, these wild creatures including tigers are in danger of extinction. Cutting trees, polluting air, rise in poaching and much more are the human deeds that impact the tiger species. There are several ways for saving tigers in which few of the simplest ways you can adopt to save the Indian tiger from becoming extinct. Those measures are as follows:

Create Awareness: The tiger species is in danger and only excessive awareness programs can save the species. Everybody can help if they did their part. You could help as well, all you have to do is to make posters or fliers illustrating about the significance of tigers on the planet earth. Our small efforts can bring awareness among locals, which makes a lot of difference.

Poaching: Hunting of tigers is legally banned throughout the country. This step has been taken because selling tiger skin or any other body parts is the biggest reason why the Tigers are going extinct. If you know somebody who is involved in Indian tiger hunting then it is your duty to report the officials.

Support a Cause: You might have come across of several programs that are running to save the tiger. You should take part in it and support their cause as it can bring the awareness among the people. You could also start your own blog on how to save the tigers or a save tiger campaign, it will really educate the people.

Stop the use of Goods made of Tiger Skin: You should stop using those goods that are made of tiger skin. Also please don't use the medicine made out of the tiger's body parts. On an average one wild tiger is killed each day for profit killing.

Forest Protection: It is required and a very necessary step to make as we need to save the tigers. Saving the natural habitat will ultimately help us in saving tigers. You can also plant as much tree as possible. Your small contribution can make a lot of difference.

There were almost eight species of tigers on the planet earth. However, three of them are already extinct. We should be making efforts to save the rest five species. There have been several ongoing campaigns for saving the tigers started by NDTV, Aircel and so on. As a common person we need to take a few steps, which can make a lot of difference. Our awareness will bring the revolutionary changes in the current situations.

Corbett National Park, a renowned wild reserve located in Uttarakhand (India), has witnessed a surprising presence of a winter migrant bird: ‘Bean Goose’. A team of bird watchers and researchers has reported the sighting of this Rare Migratory Bird at Jim Corbett in 2011. According to experts, Bean Goose birds are spotted very rarely. In India, the bird was last seen in Bikaner (Rajasthan) in the year 1948. After 1948, this bird has never been spotted in Rajasthan. Earlier to Jim Corbett National Park, this bird was seen at Hari Barage (Punjab) in the year 2003, Saikhowa National Park (Dibrugarh), and Assam in 2007. The head of the team of five researchers, Anushree Bhattacharjee explained that earlier they were not confirmed about the species of this bird since a single Bean Goose was being spotted among the flock of species like Bar-headed Goose and Ruddy Shelduck. These flocks are the common winter migrants to the Corbett landscape. Once the team was confirmed about the Bean Goose, they further consulted other experts like the Goose Specialist Group of the Wetlands International and IUCN species survival commission. The team was then affirmed about the species of Ben Goose in March that generally bears two varieties namely the Tundra Bean Goose and the Taiga Bean Goose. She further explained that the presence of the species of Tundra Bean Goose was confirmed by the experts of the Goose Specialist group, when it was spotted in Tumariya. The species of Ben Goose normally moves to south during winters in the Arctic to the sub-tropical regions including Europe and Asia. The species generally moves to the maximum extent of the south region as China. This was surely a surprising sighting of this rare species that caught the attention of maximum staffs of the Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve.

Extinction of species is an accepted fact. Anything which is created is destined to come into extinction at some period of time which is true in several cases of species and the fossil records are the most existed proof of it. From millions of years back, the cases of extinction have been witnessed and scientists have found five extinction in Earth’s history out of which some cases were so severe that almost 90% of the species were extinguished. The Cretaceous –Tertiary event is the most popular that happened some 63 million years ago and killed off all the dinosaurs to give rise to the birth of mammals. This event was the result of asteroid attack on the earth.

Today we are on the verge of sixth extinction event that began about 50,000 years ago and is now incessantly accelerating. India is among those countries which are encountering wildlife extinction day by day and from the last 90 years and this rate is accelerating at a great pace. India is a singular land belonging to numerous varieties of wild species as their natural habitat due to its tropical environment. Along with 17 mega diverse countries, India is home to about 60-70% of the world’s biodiversity. With European expansion and urbanization, most of the extinction in India has been witnessed. Apart from that brutal human behaviors to fulfill their necessities and their unauthorized hobbies including shooting and hunting have also led to the loss of the count of these species.  India alone is the major cause of loss of number of species of the wild organisms including the Bengal tiger which is ironically our national animal. This period of extinction is all because of inhuman deeds that have caused the loss of the count. At the turn of 19th century, the number of tiger species was almost 100,000 but with increase in such unlawful acts the number now declined to less than 1500. This threat of declining animal count is now resulted in many environmental adversities and is surely disturbing the balance of nature. Keeping such issues in mind, the wildlife conservation in India and WWF established a number of wild reserves and sanctuaries. India’s rich and diverse wildlife is being preserved in 89 national parks, 13 bio reserves and 400+ wildlife sanctuaries. There are several wildlife sanctuaries across India that are being located in a very astonishing environment and is naturally compatible to the different wild lives in the jungle. Some of the most popular tiger reserves and wild life sanctuaries are Jim Corbett National Park, Kaziranga National Park, Ranthambore National Park and Gir National Park. These parks bring one and only objective of saving and protecting wild lives. Indian government is trying its best to keep protected the extinguishing species especially the Bengal tigers. These parks offer numerous sites seeing experiences and animal lovers can catch the rare glimpses of the animals. Thus these parks also offer wonderful and adventurous touring spots. A visitor can mesmerize the natural beauty of the environment and can stay at the wonderful resorts arranged by the staffs. The launch of the “save the tiger” mission has really inspired millions of people all around India to take further actions in support of the wildlife conservation. Along with that people are encouraged to take further actions to persuade more and more people around them with the help of mass voting, raising funds, writing blogs and articles, performing street plays etc so that people can join this group and take the initiative as much as they can. These actions and support will definitely work some day and the rage of saving the wild life will be provoked more and more by joining the group.

India is an amazing land stuffed with beauty, prosperity, tradition and out of all the vividness in nature’s wilderness. It is the only land where one can discover to surpass the variety of species and living organisms residing in their natural and beautiful habitat. With incessantly raising of urban effects in our daily life, we are getting deviated from natural environment and its conservatism. From the last 50 years, the rates of our national species are declining that is eventually misbalancing our global atmosphere. At the turn of the last century, there were an estimated 45,000 tigers living in India forests but since then the rate declined to 1411 which is surely a serious issue. Keeping wildlife conservation in mind, many wildlife reserves were established that promise to maintain the counts of our national animal and other species. The wildlife reserves are so designed to maintain natural habitat for different species so that they can survive independently and with full protection. These natural habitats are being popularized in the form of national parks in India.

With almost 89 national parks, 13 bio reserves and 400+ wildlife sanctuaries, the objective of wildlife protection is towards a successful steep. Some of the glittering gems of this protective crown are Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve Park, Ranthambore National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park, Kanha National Park and many others. But by simply establishing many wildlife reserves; do our duty ends? Are we really sure that our mission “save wildlife”, is emerging with positive results or do we really find great changes in terms of wildlife protection? We are still answerless since we all know we are not becoming essential part of these movements. As a responsible citizen, it is indeed our duty to take active participation in wildlife conservation in India, directly or indirectly. You must have come across the “Aircel- NDTV India-Save the Tiger” initiative campaign that motivated thousands of people across India to come forward in support of this noble cause. The results were really amazing and people took active part in this campaign in the form of e-polling, advertising and fund raising. But there are still many more steps needed to follow so as to save wildlife in our country apart from such campaigns. Here are some of the steps we must follow to make our responsible efforts in terms of wildlife conservation: - Encourage people to stop hunting while making any jungle trip and should not disturb any wild animals knowingly or unknowingly during their jungle expedition. - The process of deforestation has minimized the local habitat of the wild creatures and so we should make people aware of the necessities of the forests in our environment. - For that purpose, the misuse of papers and woods should be prohibited so that we can minimize the extent of cutting of the trees. - Plantation can be the most perfect and preferred option for us in terms of spreading greenery and eco-conservatism. Since with increase in trees and plantation we can create a suitable and healthy atmosphere around us and around the wild lives. - Some other indirect ways are campaigning, promotions and advertisements, discussions, write-ups like articles and blogs can be very useful for the general awareness of the people around us. Focusing on wildlife conservation is not only being channelized for the purpose of save tiger mission but this can bring global effects on our environment and our eco-system. When our attempts of balancing the life cycle are encouraged, these efforts in due courses are for our own benefits. Saving wildlife is saving the environment and thus saving ourselves only. Therefore, come forward for this great cause and make small or large steps to protect our environment to protect us.

“Only 1411 left”. Have you ever heard of this famous phrase? Of course you must have. From the last one year we are coming across a different kind of campaign which proudly focuses on tiger conservatism. A renowned mission to save the environment and save the continuous extinguishing species of tigers especially the Bengal tigers which are the most glorifying species of our country and consequently became the most concerned part of the movement. It has been estimated that the current population of tigers in India is 50% out of world’s tiger population. Keeping this in mind, this issue strictly forces us about the coming years of their survival if the rate will be still deteriorating? In collaboration with WWF-India, Aircel-NDTV started the “Save the Tiger” campaign and took an outstanding initiative keeping a healthy thought in mind to support the cause. The campaign encouraged many individuals including the celebrities like Amitah Bacchan and MS Dhoni to join the campaign and many promotional activities and advertisements were followed for the same.  A special show hosted by anchor Vikram Chandra from NDTV, invited many tiger experts and stakeholders to voice their opinions and appeals to the general public to generate their opinions and support the noble cause. Superstar Amitabh Bacchan showed his support by mentioning its importance in his blog. With multiple SMS poll, Aircel raised this issue and created awareness among the public to understand the importance of tiger conservation in our country.

With multimedia campaigns and series of special tiger programs, the strongest media campaign on NDTV highlighted the urgency of “Save our Tigers” effort. By telecasting these special programs, they focused on the situation and the challenges facing our national animal. These noble attempts showcased multiple positive responses from the public and the result was really outstanding and unexpected. Further, many social networking sites too joined this campaign and created their own blogs and sites which were supported by many users in response for the same. Ultimately it created a lot of awareness among the people of India and today almost each and every individual is devoting their valuable opinions to support the campaign. It effectively aroused the importance of many tiger reserves and wildlife sanctuaries established in various parts of the country. Surveys define that the rate of visiting these sanctuaries, including the Jim Corbett National Park or Ranthambore National Park; increased in the last one year. The list of visitors also included the numbers of Indians who earlier neglected their own treasure and keeping the ideal objective in mind, many people approached to raise funds to protect our tiger from extinction. The mission to save the environment does not end here but it is just the beginning. We will have to try harder to protect our environment and our national animal. Being a responsible citizen of India, the zeal and energy should continue to remain within us and we should make multiple attempts to carry this campaign further so that each and every person should be aware of the importance of wildlife and the natural environment for our own survival. Their attempts will include everything, right from campaigning, promotion, raising funds and many more. We will thus see a different earth which is rotating around safe and protected.

The world famous Jim Corbett National Park has become the greatest example of eco-conservatism and eco-tourism for most of the people. Located at Uttarakhand in Nainital district, this wild conservative park reflects the sole concern about the wild conservation and to protect the living species to save environment.
