Just 1411 left.

Just 1411 left.

Our national animal is fighting for its life.

From around 40,000 at the turn of the last century, there are just 1411 tigers left in India.

If we don’t act now, we could lose this part of our heritage forever.

Speak up, blog, share the concern, stay informed… Every little bit helps.

Aircel has partnered with WWF-India to help save our tigers. Explore the site to know how you can help.

    My all Loving Indian who love Tiger Pls save our tigers don’t do crime

  6. Dinesh says:

    Tigers are friends of humnas because less the number of tigers more the population of deers and other veg animals, which in turn leads to more consumption of our forests. So save the tigers to save the forests and global worming.

  7. vikram says:

  8. PRIYA,SAYLI says:

    tigers……..a wonderful living being!!!! once they were found nearby us in a bulk ********BUT…..now they are not EVEN found in the national parks and sancturies ..so let us dont allow that condition to come as that of the ““““`DINOSAURS”"”"”"”"”. THIS IS NOT TIME TO THINK even it’s time to DO……..######

  9. nikhil says:

  10. vinod.v says:

    We were lucky to see them at zoos and sanctuaries But if we are late from this point we would have to show our kids the picture of tiger as we do to an Dinosaur today.
    PLEASE WE NEED THEM.

  11. AKASH GOEL says:

    What if tigers going to hunt human. I think we will not tolerate it, then just think why tigers should tolerate hunters.

    Wake up guys. Join the roar so that everyone can hear it and save our national animal.

    I m writing it not for only tigers but every animal in this whole world because evryone has a right to live and nobody got the right to kill.

  12. anjali says:

  13. Bharath s says:

    Tigers one of the fierce animals in the jungle
    Unfortunately today due to man greed they are at the verge of extinction
    I feel it’s great that we are doing like this ,but this is not enough
    At least we are keeping a step towards this
    It’s better late than never
    We have to think some ideas to protect tigers
    and help our government control poaching

    LET SAVE TIGERS

  14. UMESH TAILOR says:

    be INDIAN pls save our national property,

  15. anjali says:

    i want 2 c our tigers 2 b saved. please save them. how can v kill our national animal? do something 2 save our tigers untill its 2 late

  16. jeevan says:

    Blaming the govt alone for this tragic scenario is not right.I agree that they have not done their job in the most apt way.On that note I feel the private companies who make millions of money every year should contribute their bit to save our tigers.

    They will have to join hands with the govt to support them in every step possible.Organising a private body to employ forest guards .Equipped with advanced defence equipments (rifles,binoculars) will make the job more efficient.We as indidviduals can contribute monterally to better the situation.

    “He is on his last leg”.Its time to act.

  17. ritu says:

    guyz just sayin “save tigers” wnt help!!! lets suggest lets give them ideas!!! i’m doing it n hoope u do it too…soo lets keep mailin them our ways to save AND increase tiger population………. LETS DO IT!!!

  18. himanshu singh says:

    its very socking to hear that only 1411 tiger left in india , where he is the national animal. Now this is the qoustion of our nationality . now we must do something to save our tigers. I hope everyone around the world should come to save tiger.

  19. Nidhi says:

    IF WE CAN’T SAVE OUT NATIONAL ANIMAL, DO U THINK THAT WE ARE A TRUE INDIAN???????????????

    Save tigers, save your pride

  20. VivCapri says:

    Every one of us has been moved by the add… its tantamount to one of our very own babies, the innocence, the fear, the natural cravings of hunger and security… all these and more reflected in Stripey the cutey cub….
    But how does one reach out to all those heartless men who for a few rupees would sell the nation’s pride?? and pelts and meat reach Chinese shores???!!!! isnt it traitorous??
    We have the wax dummy Environmentalist Ms.Younger-daughter-in-lawGandhi, you have PETA, PAWS, you name it, we have them bodies in place, but just playing around with words from A to Zee and not doing a damn is not just helplessness, but impotence at its best…
    Does shoot-his-mouth Jairam Ramesh clamp down heavily on animals and pelt thieves?? even if he does, the Law is such a cranky, rusted machine that it will come awake, much after the last PUG has been identified.
    Good People, where do we start to stem the rot??W H E R E????
    the antiquated M.K.Gandhi once wrote : the compassion quotient of a people/country/race/nation is best indicated by the manner in which it treats its animals…
    Please let us save all those wonderful species of cats that are left, Gentle People…
    Please…

  22. manoj trivedi says:

    our national animal i.e TIGERS are in big trouble . They were in big no. now going least . SAVE TIGERS SAVE ENVIRONMENT SECURE LIFE

  23. harvinder singh bhatia says:

    see,if developed countries can cross breed lion and tiger to make a liger in lab,then why we can not breed tigers in labs to save them,and in my very opinion this figure of 1411 is a fake figure,even less then these are left these figures are provided by our very not so honest forest officers who manipulate with the stastics for their mutual benefits,to hide there in capabilities and over all corrupt attitude,last but not least in my opinion the only wasy to save tiger is artificial breed them in labs.

  24. Nupur says:

    Tiger is a secondary consumer in the ecosystem
    meaning it eats the primary consumers and
    keeps the level of primary consumers stabled.
    so it won’t get over populated
    So we need the tigers more than they need us
    SO COME JOIN THE CRUSADE AGAINST CRUELTY TO THIS DUMB ANIMAL

  25. Raj Kumar says:

    The advertisement regarding the tiger cub waiting for his mother was very very moving. Please do not give such sentimental advertisement which
    bring tears to us. Is the WWF really doing something ? If yes, we cant see it. I am dying to donate but I feel the money sent for the animals is surreptitiously taken away by someone to buy his whiskey and chicken.

  26. sheron says:

    dear folks,

    its high time, we need to save our beautiful animals……they are lovely creature created by our almighty…..try and save them….

  27. harvinder singh bhatia says:

    one more thing i would like to add, shoot at sght order for greedy or adventurous people who hunt tiger,no case no dudgement only shoot at sight punishment

  28. kanchan says:

    “Save the wild life”
    Global Warming may cause animals to shrink in in size,
    as bigger creatured will have more problems losing heat,
    Lets take a plege today to work for protection and
    improvement of our natural environment and our wild life.

  29. Rakesh says:

    Seal the jungles where this creature is still left and shoot at sight tresspassers (read poachers).

  30. Gagan Sharma says:

    For save our tigers, there should be a punishment only hang to death to hunters, who shoot any tiger,
    and there should not be any bail or any case file on hunter, I became very sentalmental to see the
    documentery avertisement about “save our tigers “, in which a little hungery and thirsty cub was waiting for mother.

  31. Akshaya says:

    We’ve been so blind all these days n its high time we wake up!We can’t let our national animal go into nothingness….so speak up guys!!!Every little bit counts ,remember???

  32. Venugopal K says:

    More than Govt. we the people of India are responsible for this situation
    Maintain the cleanliness and decorum of National parks and forests
    Save tiger and let our next generations have look at living tigers not photos…………………………………

  33. anmol srivastava says:

    The tiger is a beautiful animal. But that is not the only reason we should save it. It is time to realize that when you save the tiger, you save the forest and in turn secure your food and water security.

    This is because to make sure tigers live, we have to make sure that deer, peafowl and all other animals that the tiger eats (its prey base) live. To make sure that these herbivores live, we must make sure that all the trees, grass and other plants that these prey animals need for food are protected. In this way, the whole forest gets saved! So the tiger becomes an indicator of the forest’s health and saving the tiger means saving its entire forest kingdom with all the other animals in it.

    By saving tiger forests, we protect the catchment areas of our rivers and recharge groundwater sources.

  34. Losing Charm:-

    Once upon a time they are called the deadliest predator , wild fearsome animal. Their timid presence near human civilization was the most threating

    experience we have ever faced. Due to its gracious personality it been started captured by some kings in past and now in zoo ( in zoo it is like
    dog).

    Ever imagine what Tigers are going through in zoo. Tigers have natural behavior to scare every other species. They fear nothing but stronger Tiger than himself.

    The so much grace and scary persona is lost now a days ..We human have taken it. He lost his no fear tendency to the surviving stage.

    They much depends on what we people make efforts to save it now.

    Lets return him what he lost .. His deadly and no fear environment. Make him freely roaming tiger again..

    Join the hands and ROAR…. ( Pathetic it is - our roar is louder than tigers now)

    Thanks to AirCel initiative even it help a little .

  35. Naman says:

    please help a bit for this needy one…………tigers are the pride of india and now they are being killed ruthlessly so its not the time to think about it now its the time of action …………….kuch galat hote hue dekne wala galat karne wale se bhi bura hota hai …………….ab ya to jo ho raha hai usse hone do ya phir save our tigers join karke usse badalne ka socho……………….please iske bara me sochna garur as remember tigers are the pride of india and world.

  36. anmol srivastava says:

  37. Sanjay says:

    Think how do you feel, if your mother goes to bring food for you, and she does not return!!! The tiger culbs are also feeling the same thing everyday for hundreds of years. Try to realise their condition by remembering that:Human will go one step ahed in their way to own extinction by the extinction of tiger.

  38. Christina says:

  42. Rahul says:

  43. mukunda prabala says:

    Protect our forests and save our big cats.
    If the African countries like S. Africa, Kenya , Tanzania etc can save their wild life , why can,t we?

  44. Common Indian says:

    We must respect our National animal. At one point we should work to save tigers, we should think about saving and expending the natural habitat of tiger. We have become very insensitive to our nature and jangal/agri-land reserves. Simply we are thinking about real state, new housing projects, new SEZ, industrialization etc., even though our urban areas/cities are not well planed and are under-developed. GOVT. SHOULD THINK ABOUT ITS POLICIES WHICH PRIMERILY SEEMS TO BE OF SHORT TERM. Due to all these activities we are losing our natural resources and the natural habitats of wild animals like tiger, elephant, lion etc.
    I must say here that “we need to be more sensitive about our social/national responsibilities, rather than our self interests and rights.”
    MAY I SUGGEST A POSSIBILITY —- CAN’T OUR SCIENTISTS WORK TO CREATE HEALTHY CLONES OF ENDENGERED ANIMALS LIKE TIGER. It will be economic move, any way.

  45. Charu says:

    Tiger with coat of dissimilar stripes,
    When he’s angry, tiger swipes,
    Tiger cautious, guarding his lair,
    Danger lurking, tiger aware.

    Tiger hungry so he hunts,
    Facing quarry, tiger confronts.
    Tiger waiting, being sly,
    Undercover, no tiger espy.

    Tiger detects, now he purrs,
    Hunger pangs, tiger stirs.
    Tiger quick, must now surprise,
    Here we have one tiger, wise.

    Tiger from his throat he roars,
    Stretching out those tiger claws.
    Tiger moving, stealthy pelt,
    Expiration, by tiger dealt.

    Tiger now with belly filled,
    Anger passed, one tiger stilled.
    Tiger sleeping, with the Pride,
    Craving gone, tiger satisfied.

    Tiger such a majestic sight,
    Near extinction, tiger fight.
    Tiger beautiful and fine,
    You’re such a leonine feline.

    Tiger we must have respect, ,
    For your great tiger intellect……..our national animal is on the verge to extict..so its d need of the hour to take sum action..otherwise soon there will cum a time when tigers will only be a part of grandmaa’s story or a teddy in a soft toy shop..

  46. Pradeep Bhola says:

    We have to save our TIGERS as soon as possible & i want to donate something through netbanking but that facility are not available.

  47. Roma says:

    Leave aside the fact that the tiger is India’s national animal………the whole world, I am sure, is proud to have walked the surface of the Earth with such a splendid creation as the Tiger. Let’s not remember it just as history like the dinosaurs……at least saving the Tiger is in our hands.

  48. Parul Jauhari says:

    1411… DON’T let the countdown begin…

  49. Chiranjeevi says:

    Let us take this chance to give our contributions to save our national animal.come on Indians.
