I am Indian. Once upon a time there are many tigers. But now you can hardly found them. The Indian kings hunt them to show their Royal ness. Now the great Indian poachers kill them for skin and other valuable organs. tell your views on that and how this tigers can be protect from the most dangerous animal human.

There are several sensible arguments, which can be marshalled to justify why we should save India's tigers. For instance Indian forests, which do watershed most of their important river systems, play a dominant role in performing these functions, besides harbouring the Indian tigers. If wisely managed with the Bengal tigers some of the Indian forest landscapes can also provide rural and urban populations the fuel, timber, bamboo, rattan, and a whole host of non-timber products, needed for their sustenance. The Bengal tiger are a key species of these forests in harbouring millions of plant and animal life forms. Moreover the Indian tiger is at the end of a complex chain of ecological relationships, this also includes plants which directly produce energy from the sun, and the herbivorous animals upon which Panthera Tigris Tigris preys. One of the most effective ways of being sure of saving complex life linkages and ecological processes is to ensure that the top predators of India such as tigers are thriving in an intact assembly of predators, prey and plant communities. Surely destroying the remaining few per cent of land on which India's tigers live on now, to solve some problem or the other which society has not been able to solve despite full access to the remaining high percent over the centuries, does not make any sense.

Thank you. But there are some other problems. Poachers have modern fire arms. How come the forest guards can protect forest with there backdated weapons. Politicians are corrupted and they give protection to the influential poachers and timber marchent. What is your suggestion on that?

Yes, that is unfortunate. I think there is a need to strictly follow wild life conservation act.
