CHAPTER 4 TIGER CONSERVATION INTRODUCTION “The Indian tiger has been the centre of attraction in the Indian jungles, as a big fame, during the last two centuries. Apart from Maharajas and Nawabs who had interest in hunting of tigers, the British officers, soldiers and civil officers were all keen on bagging at least one tiger before they retired. A few of them attempted to score a century of tiger heads and succeeded. Some even repeated the performance as many as 10 times, thus massacring over a
FEATURES: Nowadays a lot of animals are being hunted. The organism that I have chosen is the national animal of India - The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris). It has a lot of physical adaptations like striped fur to camouflage, soft pads which allows them to walk silently to their prey, this allows them to survive in its habitat. They are nocturnal animals. WHY ARE THEY ENDANGERED? Bengal tigers are beautiful animals and it's really disheartening to watch them die! Hunters are hunting them for their skin
6. CASE STUDY 6.1 CORBETT TIGER RESERVE Corbett is one of the best preserved National parks in the country today, with a population of 164 tigers in its reserve. It has the highest density of tiger population in the country at 20/100 sq km according to the All India Estimates of Tigers and Co predators and Prey conducted by Wildlife Institute of India and National Tiger Conservation Authority. It is also the only viable population of tigers in the North West and has ‘‘best chances of long term survival’’
Tigers being poached or killed is decreasing their populations dramatically.This species may not be here for long. Some tigers live in reserves to help their populations increase.Tigers are very active and like bathing. Tigers are a beautiful animals, yet their habitats are becoming isolated; thus, there will be no more tigers. Suprisingly, the biggest member in the cat family is the tiger(“Basic”para.1).The defenders.org states, “They sport long, thick reddish coats with white bellies and white
Bengal tigers are very beautiful majestic animals. So, could you imagine life without them? They are native to most of Asia deep in the rainforests. They are being hunted to be made into rugs, and are losing their habitat due to deforestation. Can anything be done about this? ”The Bengal tiger (also known as the Royal Bengal tiger) or (Pentera tigris tigris), is the national animal of Bangladesh, and is considered to be the second largest tigers in the world.” [Bengal] Tigers give birth to litters
However, that is not enough. It is also important to put a value on these natural resources and, if possible, the reserve as a whole to develop the sector of ecotourism (Farham, 2007), which in turn produces revenues to better manage the reserves (Khan, 2004), and also, to establish both physical and official infrastructure to better protect these important parts from further destruction (Rana et al., 2010). Unfortunately, for
Tigers are the largest members of the cat family. They live in Asia and belong to the same genus as the lion, leopard, and jaguar. Two major subspecies of the tiger are the Siberian tiger and the Bengal tiger. The tiger is thought to have originated in northern Asia during the Pleistocene Epoch. Scientific classification: Tigers belong to the family Felidae. The scientific classifications of each tiger are listed in the "Types of Tigers" section of this report. Appearance The Siberian tiger measures
On this assignment I will be writing an essay for feet first looking at the possibilities of exporting products to the EU, BRIC and the Pacific Rim countries. International trade is when different countries sell products or a service to another country. EU The European Union (EU) was originally made up of 3 different countries which was assembled in 1951. At first France and Germany had came together so they could share their coal and steel resources. A short while later Belgium, Netherlands and
animals. In India there are around 531 wildlife sanctuaries. Among these wildlife sanctuaries, Project Tiger in India governs 28 Tiger Reserves and they hold special significance in the preservation of tiger. Interestingly, some of the wildlife sanctuaries are specifically named as Bird Sanctuary, such as Keoladeo Ghana National Park before they attained the status of National Park. Several National Parks of the country were formerly wildlife sanctuaries. Wildlife sanctuaries in India cover near about
A Proposal to Stop the Poaching of the Siberian Tiger One of the world’s most beautiful creatures, the Siberian tiger, has been roaming earth for many years. The Siberian tiger subspecies has been subjected to many obstacles, which make it very difficult for it to survive. Their main threat is not lack of food, but “man,” one of God’s most fierce and cruel species. Because of man the tiger population has reduced to approximately 400 in the wild, and restricted their remaining habitat to the
single-humped dromedary camel. Its population of two million exists mainly in the domesticated form. Some authorities, notably the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), use the binomial name Camelus ferus for the wild Bactrian camel and reserve Camelus bactrianus for the domesticated Bactrian camel. Their name comes from the ancient historical region of Bactria. The domesticated Bactrian camel has served as a pack animal in inner Asia since ancient times. With its tolerance for cold, drought
Earth holds a vast diversity of living organisms and immense varieties of Habitat and ecosystem. Biodiversity is the variety and variability among living organisms from all sources, including terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic eco¬systems and the ecological complexes; this includes diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems (CBD 1992). The term biodiversity, the short form of biological diversity, was coined by Walter G. Rosen in 1985. The fundamental to ecologically sustainable
more than 6,500 men keeping the peace outside its borders in places such as Bosnia Herzgovena, Iraq, Kuwait, Western Sahara, Liberia, Angola, Rwanda. Nigerian troops have also served in Somalia, Mozambique and Cambodia, The Congo, Chad, Lebanon, India, Pakistan (Kashmir). Nigeria has more men and women risking their lives in the interest of peace than any other country in the world. There are more than 18 million students in Nigerian schools at all levels. That is more than the total human population

Migration is an important source of change as it shapes and re-shapes societies, making them more diverse and complex. The decision of relocation of the particular group is reinforced by the consequences for their action in terms of resettlement and rehabilitation. Voluntary resettlement is a development induced displacement in which the willingness of the participants to resettle and the right to refuse displacement based on the rehabilitation package offered by the State government gives it an
Resettlement of the refugees continues to be a burning issue in the post colonial world. Basically refugees are people who live in exile; those people who have to flee from their homeland due to the constant wars, internal conflicts and other forms of violence. It can be either a voluntary exile or a forcible one. Anyway all refugees share the same pangs- the pangs of separation from their homeland, the nostalgia and desire for the homeland and the building up of the new dreams in a Newfoundland

forest (WWF, 2011a). In addition, WWF (2011a) claimed that poaching and illegal trade in wildlife is one of the main causes of extinction to the endemic species in the region. Because of high commercial value, some critically endangered species such as tiger and rhino are poached. Other species like deer are poached for their meat (WWF, 2011a). Similarly, fish poaching is considered to be a threat on the biodiversity because the poachers contaminate the river when they use nets and poison to get the fish
There are many variables that come with climate change but are biggest contributions would be if we limited greenhouse gasses emissions, increase the genetic diversity within our agriculture, and increase/preserve the biodiversity within nature reserves. Many companies (Exxon Mobile) and nations, like Russia and America, continue to underestimate the facts about climate change. The UN has established a Cap and Trade system which limits the amount of GG
Environmental Justice Support the position that a clean environment is a basic human right. How can this be achieved? What is environmental justice? Environmental justice has been defined as the pursuit of equal justice and equal protection under the law for all environmental statutes and regulations without discrimination based on race, ethnicity, and/or socioeconomic status. Environmental justice refers to the conditions in which such a right can be freely exercised, whereby individual and group
