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.

Its high time the government takes immediate action.There is no time at all.If they dont do so,may be we will have to see the tigers in the computers rather than in the zoo,sanctuaries etc.Many measures are taken but in vain.The poachers should be severely punished.Keeping them in jail for their life time or hanging them is the only solution to this problem.Innocent animals are being killed for human profits.Its ridiculous.Wake up politicians.Its you people who have enough power to take immediate action.

indian tiger needs your help, how shameful it is to state that selfish Men are behind woMen, Money and aniMal. These men donot care for any of the three mentioned. We need to understand that the world is for the one’s need and not for one’s selfishness as told by our Mahatma. We need to see that all of them live. If today we are not going to save them then the future generation should only be able to see them in fotos. Kindly people we need to save them. Help the tigers.
its a serious concern and we should not leave any stone unturned to save tigers after all tiger is our national animal
just blaming indian govt or forest officers will be like passing the ball in the other’s court i am very happy of this initiative ” save our tigers we need to organise such type of campaign to make aware of every person of country, we can also collect some fund by providing T Shirt of “save our tiger” to every citizen and collecting a fixed amout from the same person in this way we can take this “save our tiger” campaign to a global level.
we have take steps very soon to save tigers at least for the sake of our posterity.
Hi People,
I think we need some more strict laws. At present if a person kills a tiger he’ll be punished with maximum 3years imprisonment with Rs. 25,000 fine. Our Govt. need to understand that a life of a tiger is as valuable as a life of human.
JAGO INDIA JAGO… Save our Nations Pride…
Please don’t buy that requires animal to get killed. My opinion fanciness lead to this situation.
Politicians will not do any thing unless they get any thing from it.
Only people can make difference………………..
I cried when ‘Sakhi’ a tiger in Nehru zoological park(Hyderabad) was killed for its skin. I wanted them to be hanged and if You find any one of that kind please inform officials who are sincere.
just 1411???? and it is our national animal!!! wake up now just stop setting go for the protest against people like those
we must save our national animal and must do this on very religious note , let’s go for it …… god bless them all who left !!!
Not only is tiger a beautiful animal but it is also the indicator of the forest’s health. Saving the tiger means we save the forest since tiger cannot live in places where trees have vanished and in turn secure food and water for all.
If we make sure tigers live, we have to make sure that deer, antelope 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! Saving the tiger means saving its entire forest kingdom with all the other animals in it.
Also forests catch and help store rainwater and protect soils. In this way we protect our rivers and recharge groundwater sources. Areas with less trees lead to floods, killing people and destroying homes. It takes away the precious soil, leaving behind a wasteland. The soil jams up our lakes and dams, reducing their ability to store water. By destroying the tiger’s home, we not only harm tigers, but also ourselves.
The tiger thus becomes the symbol for the protection of all species on our earth since it is at the top of the foodchain. This is why we sometimes call the tiger, an apex predator, an indicator of our ecosystem’s health
WE THE INDIANS HAVE TO WAKE UP NOW.ITS HIGH TIME SLEEPING. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO SAVE OUR NATIONAL ANIMAL AND STRIPEY’S MOTHER………………….COME INDIANS LET US ROAR…..just 1411 left buddy WAKE UP………….

only 1411 tigers left! tigers are the national animal of india.
It is necessary to protect our tigers.
Iappeal to the government that stop this and do some thing to protect our national animal.
we must make a new world for tigers and try to preserve them ,not to finish their existence ……..
we must join our voices and punish them who who have bad deeds for tigers!
serve and strict punishment!
wen the add came i cried… a tear came frm my eyes….
i wud just say that..
“MAKE THESE POACHERS AND HUNTERS EXTINCT TO BRING TIGERS OUT OF THE XTINCTION LIST”!!!!!
i am highly pleased with this started programe. i would like to recommend to all indians and other countries’ men to join this site ann to do work for the sake of the invaluble tigers. with my best wishes i would also like to give thanks to aircell to start this mission and all joiners and superstars.
1411 .. Its shame on us !!! We are the sovereign nation not just to protect the citizens but also its florae & fauna. I pledge that I will never allow any one who dares to kills or harms this beautiful national animal. PM of India should put his head down. When he can’t sleep on illegal detention of a citizen in foreign land, how can he keep mum on elimination of this national animal.
It is the duty of every citizens, who have even 0.00000001% of nationalism to do what ever is his capability to save the Tigers……
IT IS TIME TO DO SOMETHING 4 OUR ANIMAL WEALTH,NOT ONLY FOR TIGERS 4 EVERY ANIMALS,LETS SAVE ANIMALS
Poaching … Act of bringing end to Beautiful creature created by God
Greedy Humans …. Earn quick bucks by killing & Selling there skins n other parts …
Self Centric Humans taking pride in hunting & believing self to be supreme…
This will continue as there is no fear of LAW. Convicted poachers are fined with 25000-35000 Rs & sentenced for 2-5 yr of jail which I suppose is have mentioned higher side.
To change the situation, LAW needs to be upgraded to make sure hefty monetary fine is levied & severe Jail terms…
Villagers residing near Jungle to be educated & motivated to report any suspicious incidents
Control & checking on Resorts & Permit on accessing remote areas
Pls create awareness as much as you can & SAVE This beautiful creatures
SAVE OUR TIGERS…………………………
Over the past century the number of tigers in India has fallen from about 40.000 to 1411. The biggest threat to tiger in India is depletion of their chief prey like deer, wild pigs and wild cattle by local people. As a result although about 3,00,000 square kilometers of tiger habitat still remains, much of it is empty of tigers because there is not enough food for them to survive and breed successfully. The bigger chunks of empty tiger forest in north-east India need urgent improvements to even reach “reasonable management” in protected areas. Tigers can coexist with people if the landscape is defined at scale of the country , region, state or district. The best way is to create more opportunities in the real world for trained conservationists and conservation scientists. By not just being interested and concerned but by learning more, understanding issues and supporting the right solutions.
it’s shameful for us that we can’t save our tigers………… wake up now………. and plz SAVE OUR NATIONAL ANIMAL
Its really sad to see our national animal facing a perilous condition. Good to see many people coming up and “Roaring” loudly. I hope the “ROAR” never gets bogged down.
One should realize this deeply and act as if Human Beings are facing this condition.
There are many things in life that affect us directly and few other issues that we come across where letting it affect or not affect us becomes our choice.. Recently whilst switching channels i came across this ad tat instantly brought tears to my eyes.. Even now when i see d print ad or watch tat video again, just cant not be affected by it.. Tat small little pub, his innocence, tat fear in his eyes reminds me of a small kid awaiting his mother to return home from work but she doesnt come back.. Mayb she is hurt somewhere, no clue of her whereabouts.. People may wonder why shld we be bothered about a pub, how does it matter, enough and more social issues to think about.. We may not be able to effect a change completely on our own merit but every little bit that we do, every part makes a whole.. Even if it means expressing your thoughts, express it widout fear.. This roar will be heard.. Loud and clear..
TIGER IS NOT ONLY THE NATIONAL ANIMAL BUT ALSO OUR PRIDE. I KNOW THAT THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY WOULD NOT JUST LET THE PRESENT NUMBER OF TIGERS TO REDUCE ANY FURTHER. WE HAVE GOT TO UNITE AGAINST THE POACHERS AND STOP THEM. I WOULD APPEAL OTHERS WHO HAVE NOT JOINED YET TO JOIN RIGHT NOW. THIS IS INDEED A SUBJECT WHICH MATTERS TO US .
utho jago nahi to der ho jayegi .
Friends aaj hamare desh mai sirf 1411 tigers hee bache hai aur agar kuch insane shikariyo ka bas chalta tho ye bechare bhi nahi bachte. So my Request to all those insane tigers Killers that please dont kill our National Animal because Tigers are the Pride of India. Aur agar ye Shikari aise hee tigers ka Shikar karte rahe tho humari ane wali generation Tigers ko sirf Books mai hee dekh sakengee . If anybody see this msg then please think that what we are loosing and what will be the future.

i just think y kill animals there life is presiois as ours .evan thoug i am only 13 years old i just wa
have u ever thought what our national animal needs????? well it needs more safety …………. so join the initiative even a little effort of us can change everything forever………….
hello outthere,
i have to say that its only we peple who leave our national pride in such a situation, why we are using the product in which animal crying are involved, i feel very bad when i learnt that tigers are killed for their bones and skins. So its time to do something, something which can really help, like atleast we can save our jungle which leads to saving the tigers and say no to any kind of animal product. otherwise we will loss our tigers like we did with our chitas……..and with many more
Is there or was there any program or effort to raise the deer/wild pigs/bison etc in zoo and then let them in Jungles? These can easily survive even though they are bred and raised in captivity unlike the predators who need to learn hunting techniques from its mother.
I guess at least this will address the issue of lack/less number of natural prey and starvation.
The approach should be two fold..
1) first arrest the problem/stop the disease. Here it would be immediately stop poaching/deforestation/encroachment etc. This means strict laws and harsh punishment. Yes, even to influential people (rather they should be punished severely and made examples)
2) increase immunity/build sustenance… help grow natural habitat/other wild life in eco chain
have u ever thought what our national animal needs????? well it needs more safety …………. so join the initiative even a little effort of us can change everything………..
I cant ” imagine a nation without its national animal “, so i am gona work to protect tigers . Will you people join with me to achieve it ? . If yes, come lets do it ! Jai ho!
now no more tigers should be killed because its our prestige!!!!!!!!!!
hi friends
i am a tiger lovers and i think many of my friends are tiger lovers but we have to do something really effectiveness to save our wildlife herritage and for which we have known to the world.
so lets join the hands……………….. & please ….. please save the tigers only 1411 has left.
Its just only 1411 tigers left…Shame on us….
Govt is busy building monuments and statues of glory (spending crores), while this amazing animal is being pushed towards the edge…
Enough is Enough…I SAY…lets not get fooled by politicians and work towards this noble cause…
I am not sure how many of you know abt this, but we can build more restricted parks/areas, as the one we do in Bhopal (Its called Van-Vihar).
If we will kill tigers who will be the nation animal donkeys If you want to see them in future save them now
Tiger is part of our Indian History .India was known as land of Tigers since ages.India is it’s motherland.
Every Indain child grew with the tales of the ROYAL tiger in the Forests, bushes & mountains throughout the nation.
If we lose the TIGER we are losing a brother forever & Nature will never forgive us for being part of the reason fo rmaking TIGER vanish from it’s homeland .
why we Indians always wake up late and so late that everything is either lost by the time or there aren`t anything left to do…………. to change the things to the normal……….. we keep on thinking that someone will start it first but do nothing thinking its not our job to do……….. we started late for our freedom…….. and we are always late when it comes to fight terrorism and now we are again late to save the tigers………… “THE CUTEST CAT ” I PREFER TO CALL THEM…….
and what our politicians do except for fighting among themselves……….. they do nothing but to fight and fight for the power and just make false promises to the poor people of this country…….
they should stand up against this then it can make more of a sense to fight for it……..
i got very touched after seeing d ad
i m happy that aircel has made a platform to save tigers
i will try and make as many as friends join this innitiative
we as individual can stop this from root by not purchasing goods made frm tigers body
and informing police if anyone isbuying or selling such thing.
No hotels should be in the jungles all should be outside
wake up people its our national animal save it
Tigers!!
The worlds most beautiful and the gorgeous of all hunter’s . They walked the greens with their soft paws leaving just “pug marks” behind for us to know they were there, an animal with such pride and gravity that once people found their reputation increased if they hunted one. We have all heard of stories of tigers and ‘the human’, of Jim Corbet and his jungle which is now a sanctuary, soon this braved animal will only be seen in a photograph, when our coming generations ask” where does a tiger live?” maybe we will just open up a website or search google to find them a photograph to show how did a tiger look !!
The Hippocratic nature of our people might just be one reason why our national animal is ‘DISAPPEARING’ sanctuaries, built and conserved for the protection of tiger’s, well tiger’s weren’t conserved poaching still continued …….. how???? hard to figure out !!!!
tiger’s were killed skinned and their skins were exported from our own country and no doc. no shipment was ever suspected . We all knew , read and had even seen the deteriorating numbers of tigers from reserves and sanctuaries and we thought we its ok, they might just normalise their number pretty soon.
India, the pride and everything else we claim to be PROUD OF OUR HERITAGE, CULTURE ,SOCIETY, RICHNESS OF RAJA MAHARAJA’S , TRADITION, A LAND WHERE STILL RAJ GHARANA’S EXIST WITH SAME HONOR ITS A SHAME WE COULDN’T BE PROUD OF OUR NATURAL HERITAGE , OUR NATIONAL ANIMAL , THE TIGER, WHICH WHEN WAS DECLARED TO BE THE NATIONAL ANIMAL WAS THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD DEPICT , VALOR, PRIDE, ELEGANCE…. THE VULNERABLE TIGER FAILS TO SAVE ITSELF ……..
ITS TIME WE ALL STAND AGAINST POACHING, AND PEOPLE WHO BETRAY THIS ANIMAL SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUS ACTIONS AGINST TO ….
Save Indian Tiger
India has been home to Tigers for a very long time. If one has seen a Tiger they are just awed by the beauty, power and aura of the magnificent beast. Tigers were found all over India and still as many as 16 States of India are home to the Tigers. The latest census report released on 12th. February, 2008 by the Government of India reports that there are only 1411 tigers left. The population of the Tiger has been reduced by nearly 50% and that too in a period of 6 to 7 years.
It is time that emergency and drastic steps are taken to save the pride of jungle and pride of India from becoming extinct.
The causes of the fast decrease in the Tiger population are well known both by the government and common people. The increasing pressure on Tiger habitats due to agriculture, industrialization and degradation and fragmentation of natural habitats, forests and natural grasslands are one of the main reasons for the decrease of Tiger population and for that matter all wildlife in India. The immediate effect of this is lack of natural food and habitat causes the wild animals to come out of the forest area. This tends to increase the conflicts between the humans and animals. The other reason for the population decrease is Poaching, which has been on rise recently. T
