Tigers have always been a symbol of strength and might.
But when hoardings like “only 1411 tigers left” enveloped the city, it indeed is difficult to imagine our world without our national animal, the tiger.
Good news
But the good news is slowly, the number is increasing.
A ray of hope is the birth of the three tiger cubs Pushpakumar, Kamal and Indira born to the tigers Bhima and Aparna, the tigers the Nehru Zoological Park, which were released into the crawl (a place where the tigers are put) recently.
“Tiger are killed for selfish reasons. I would be excited when my national animal will get its rightful place,” says Rownak, Std. VI, Chirec Public School
Says Mr. S. Ramesh, Assistant Controller, Nehru Zoological Park, “we ensure regular disinfection of delivery rooms, crawls, and night houses.
There is restriction of the movement of public to these places and regular monitoring of the cubs by vet docs and management with the help of animal keeper.”
Also, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has been taking adequate measure to increase the number of tigers which include training workshops for forest field staff; providing support for base camps, patrolling vehicle, wireless sets, wildlife trade monitoring kits and working with the forest communities (tribal communities).
