The Bengal Tiger is spiraling towards certain extinction. Tiger Census from 2007 puts the figure at 1,411 tigers in the wild, down by 60% from the Census conducted just 10 years ago, in 1997.
I was 8 years old when I saw my first(and only) tiger in the wild at the Bandipur Tiger Reserve, that was over 20years ago. Even today I vividly recall every second of that encounter. It was an awe-inspiring sight, an "out of this world" experience (no pun intended).
It's shameful that were are not giving the Tiger it's rightful place on this planet, and saddening that future generations to come will never experience the Pride of the Wild.
