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.

INDIA…a country famous for its culture and heritage, is one of the 12 megabiodiversity countries of the world…it merely has 4.5% of the total land cover but contributes 8.1% to the global diversity…BUT…still only 1411 left…Imagine the condition…the pain…the fear…the agony of the child deprived of its mother…what is the difference between animals and humans if we don’t keep an eye on our actions??? This is a time when our mother needs her children to walk shoulder to shoulder and stop poaching and seizing and SPEAK UP for HER…everybody can be a HERO…everybody can bring a CHANGE… I brought one by ROARING for the PAWS!!!
Hope the country comes together to convert this minute change in a huge one and LEAD THE PAWS towards a safer life to ROAR forever more…
Tigers are one of the big cats. Imagine what happens when the future generation do not know what a tiger is. How would they accept it as the national animal, if it does not exist? Like jaguar, survives in South America and cheetah survives in Africa alone, tigers are getting extinct. So they must be saved. Or else it could be a major loss. It is the largest cat in the world. It is a quite depressing count. Already we are losing the Asian Lion, which survives in Gujarat alone. If we loose even the tigers, there won’t be any big cat in our country. If tigers do not exist anymore in our country, we should be ashamed of ourselves for not saving our national animal.
Please co-operate with this campaign and save our NATIONAL ANIMAL…

Media please get involve
I only have to say SAVE OUR TIGERS………..
its our responsibility to save these poor creatures…….
WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO SAVE THESE INNOCENT ANIMALS……
It’ s an alarming situation and greatly disturbing for all of us. But it seems that only making laws won’t help. We must arise to the need of hour and come together to protect and Save the “PRINCE OF THE JUNGLE”. The tiger’s imagined healing properties and demand for tiger body parts in traditional Asian medicine , which encouage poachers to kill them for their greed for money is the single largest threat to the survival of this beautiful and magestic creature. Not only this the ever increasing human population has engulfed their habitats. Thus, directly or indirectly we all are responsible for this shameful situation. So let’s all wake up and raise our voice and try in whatever way we can to save our TIGERS. Because its hard to imagine a world without these Gift of Nature - Our Regal, Magestic, ADORABLE CATS - The TIGERS “
Add of ‘Just 1411 left’ is too touching…it brings tears into my eyes….that little cub..waiting for mother…very very..touching moment……that inocent eyes…no body will forget…
Hats off to the person who prepared this add..this has touched evrey human heart…
Save our national animal…it’s our pride…
Yes i am with you..
SAVE TIGERS…
Just wrote something about tigers and join society and groups r not enough efforts. We just need to take some actions.
Be ready…
Need to look beyond Poaching. A bigger problem probably is the lack of knowledge on how to treat and take care of a sick or injured tiger……There is no funding on research. A lot of the anti-poaching funds are used to build lodges/offices in the jungles…. The rot is within. We cannot even be sure of this number - 1411
IT is not just about writing blogs but to do something.It is about coming together and do any possible work to its last destiny.Just writing blogs won’t help .I’d like to say,if man can be a shy social animal,why can’t the tigers.I don’t have any economic income.But if i had any I’d had spent whole for them.I’d like to ask all high professionals can’t they donate even 10% of their income for the welfare of these beauties.I’m not saying just for tigers but for all flora and fauna in the verge of extinction.A bird is just about 14 in the whole world.as tiger is the national animal we give him importance.As i said writing blogs won’t help.I stop here.
i jus want to be say and request everyone to save tigers and spread awareness amongst oursleves……….Lets not let our NATIONAL ANIMAL diminish……..they are one of the most beautiful animal on earth………….Lets not fight against nature and help in saving our tigers……….humans shud not be selfish………….PLZ COME TOGETHER TO SAVE OUR TIGERS……………
A small suggestion, use the back of your visiting cards, envelopes, pamphlets to spread the message ” Save Our Tigers”.
Saving the tiger means saving mankind..
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.

Dear… Peoples
Human Being were Created, because GOD gave them a beautiful gift that’s brain, to make them understandable, think, to speak, to realize, to feel, in nut shell I can say we got responsibilities to make whole world protected. Alas we human , ah are greedy even we know we have life just for some years to live, weath or greed couldn’t be with us after death, if we think this then we doin the sinful things…….Why not we understand? What happen US?
It’s really shocking that TIGERS are about to ………? WHY ? Who is responsible for GOD sake tell me ? Does tigers ruin humans life? Lots of questions are in my mind…..I think no …..
Now dear all , with blog or to share concerns, it’s right but does it work? What we should do?
We have to protect all over universe/universe all Almighty’s creatures…………
Only the ways . we have to be unite , make mega rallies nation wide, else internation wide… May be a little we get succeed………..
It’s great AIRCEL initiative to protect TIGERS, only 1411 left in India, I personelly welcome and happy to wish them , may GOD bless the team AIRCEL/WWF who take such steps……….Aameen

I am a IT engineer and I want to save tigers because I care for them. I will tell all my friends in my Company to Blog, send sms and donate to save the tigers.
SHOCKING!!!! Our national animal put to the test of extinction……Poaching, poor animal upkeep, low awareness and threatening the natural dwelling of such a majestic animal is criminal, if not anything else! What’s more, is that, do we realise that as an animal when we see our numbers dwindling, our desire to live on, breed, be happy and without fear, also diminishes. It is but just a natural feeling in all us animals. The Tiger is no different!
The Tiger is as sacred as the national anthem, a temple-mosque-church-gurdwara, our own blood-family….so let’s all join hands and protect our own!
Its high time we should do something about it our national animal fighting for its right we need to act now its our duty to fight for their rights we have save them so come be a part of this movement come be the change of our living planet save tigers save our planet
i will only say that we have save our KINGS OF FOREST at any cost
It wouldn’t have been this worse had we done our individual part in tact. people don’t switch their engines off at signals, the father wants yet another home to be built on the outskirts of the city which was once the home of some rare species of insect or a bird or a mammal. If these “oining hands for stripey, creating blogs, rallying”will really make a change I will be the happiest person for the stripeys. but i am afraid these will make any change at all… i am writing this comment here on a public network…. tommorrow some tom, dick and harry will read mine as i did… but someone out there, under cover is waiting to hunt down a tiger just because it gets him those government printed, governor signed papers… filthy souls hunt down wild life just for pleasure or MONEY… we wouldn’t want to create yet another blog for another animal some umpteen months later… do we? they wouldn’t have gone this down in numbers had we not destroyed their habitat.. had we not cut down the trees.. had the filthy souls not hunt them down. my eyes really watered the moment i realised the cub was deprived off its mother.
how many TV channels made shows about bio diversity, or tiger reserves before this disturbing number “1411″ came into limelight. they have enuff to capture on movies, drama and celebrities… they wouldn’t want to waste their money and time on what is actually required for everyone!!!! disgusting!!! i am happy atleast about the fact many a people have the heart to speak out on this…. jus think of an ecosystem diagram in a biology text book with the big cat missing on the cycle… disturbing, isn’t it? i wouldn’t be indecisive to skin a poacher alive, should i see one!!! ALL WE NEED TO BE DOING IS TO FOLLOW OUR FOURTH, FIFTH GRADE SCHOOL LESSONS AND ABIDE BY THEM. this should be of greater help to save the big cats, in fact this would save everything on earth and the earth itself. i really wish that those who made this count of the big cats really made some mistake… i badly wish that there are still a “1411″ hiding out there in the ghats…
love nature, love earth, love wildlife

yaa its a very serious issue for our India. please save tigers. Government stickily banded this all type of killing.
PLZ COME TOGETHER TO SAVE OUR TIGERS……………
jai mata di…
How shameful for us the only 1411 Tigers are left. I am interested for save tigers Can I help you?
Now the message on poster is very fantastic . This message goes directly my hearts.
hame tiger ko bachana he is liye kade niyame banawo
Its a big shame for all of us as a nation.Our national animal is getting extinct.If we do not stand for this movement now then days are not far when national animal will be known as an extinct animal and our coming generation will not be able to witness and see these beautiful creatures.
They are our pride and we should not let it go like this.
I want to thank Aircel to take this initiative…it is very thoughtful and a small step to better future!
Lets print Tshirt / caps with slogan save our tigers and sell it to generate revenue for this project.. I am in for this project…
Everybody is talking, writing in the press, writing blogs and showing sympathy ? I would like to see and read about people who are not talking but doing at grass roots level ? I am running 80 yrs. otherwise I would be in the field, becase I apent my childhood and youth in the land of Mowgali.
I wonder if somebody has a list of highly paid officers sitting in Delhi & other Metros and State capitals who are supposed to be looking after Wild Life / Tigers. Perhaps their population may be more than the Tigers in India. They may be highly educated in Forestry / Zoology and other related subjects but do they love animals ? If not they are misfits. Of others who fit the bill , should be where the action is, in the forward areas / battle ground.
I think if you look at the map and the location of the Sanctuaries / National Parks, perhaps all those sitting in Delhi / other Cities should be shifted to work in the field and not just push files. A place like Jabalpur could be made a headquarter for wildlife work. It would cover more than 80% of tiger population within a 500 Km Radius.
There should be a separate Central Service cadre for Animal conservation. People who are living in places like Kanha / Bandhvgarh and do the daily beat on foot inside the jungles should be paid extremely well, given weapons / powers to prosecute, just like Police, have a special magistrate and court for poaching offences. There should be no role of Police / Revenue officials.
I thing I have asked for the moon I wonder if the Govt.(Politicians) have the courage & conviction to do so. Make a beginning and hang Sansarchand.
Everything make by God in which very amazing thing i.e life cycle. All living things depend on life cycle for the balance of our universe. So in keep the view of balance of our world tigers are play most important role.
So I request to all of You pls keep balance save our world , save us and save Tigers.
Its time to ponder over, why it is happening so. Our National animal is moving towards extinction, is’nt it is shameful to us. We talk to save our monuments but what about our national animal, it’s our right to give them importance, so move on to save them.
Till yesterday I like many of you couldn’t understand how we can save our tigers by writing blogs, creating groups etc. This is my personal understanding of how we can make a difference. The present count stands at 1411 and the whole of India knows it. If at all even a single more tiger is killed, all the authorities associated with protection and conservation of Tigers will be held accountable. The punishment for the persons responsible for killing of tigers would be thrown as food to other tigers.
The figure of 1411 is the bottom line and I would want to see this figure going up and not down from now on. Raising our concern, being aware and propagating the awareness can go a long way in not just protection our tigers but our national heritage. Be a part of change, feel the change, do some thing and be a responsible Indian………….
Hame tiger ko bachana hi chahiye, nahito ham apne baccho ko tiger sirf kitabo mai hi dikhayenge. so, save our tigers
This a great initiative which Aircel has taken , which increases the awareness . which will furthur help in track the count of tigers and raise the voice against it , which has created a platform to show concern abt our national animal . Hope our next generation could hear the ROAR of tigers …. and its possible only awareness , thanks aircel , and WWF india .
Its for us to see that 5 years down the line when we sit to teach our children, wat would we say T for Tiger or T for Terror, which we brought on to this beautiful creature…..so let save them….and people we need to do it faster than before……..SAVE THE TIGERS….and let them ROARRRRRRRRRR
Tiger….Our National Animal ……..
Just 1411 left !!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a shocking news……..
Please come together join this noble cause for saving our National Animal!!!!!!!!

we should save tiger not only bcz of this d8 it is our national animal but also d8 it is a part of our indian heritage. so, it is as equable as we are. so, we all should take a pledge to save tigers as well as other creatures also.
i think as an indian we all must do atleast something for our national animal……we just can’t sit idle and let this animal disappear in front of our eyes!!!!!!!!so i just want to request u all out dere to come forward and do a bit for this noble cause……afterall it’s our duty,our responsibility,it’s the question of our national prestige????isn’t it……….i am doing a bit of my part are you??????
hi friends i am also with u..
actually i love animals a lot, they keep talking through their eyes and u can feel their pain just by touching them or having a look in to their eyes..
they never trouble u,they only wants love and nothing else,but people always trouble them i do not why? but for me its very sad.
i will send msgs to all my friends to save our tigers,to save our nation.
i also want save this beautyful animal. why we kill them? only for our benefit. kya bigada hai in masum janvarone hamara? jo aaye din shikari hatya karte hai. hamare desh ke neta jab tak in masumoko bachaneme firm sahyog nahi denge tabtak in ke shiakr ka silsila chalta rahega. meri desh ke sabhi partiyo ke netao se request hai pls masum animals ko bachane me puri tarahse co ordinate kare. pls
We have recognized tiger as a deadly killer, a blood thirsty animal. But standing in this field, we have to question ourselves – Who is more deadly and blood thirsty? – Human or Tiger???
And why have we killed those tigers? – To make a jacket; to make a pair of shoes; to make a handbag. W-O-O-W! What a gre-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-t example of HUMANITY!!!!!!
Time has not yet been over. So we have to be alert and more conscious to save the tiger – to save one of the most beautiful units of nature.
It’s not just about writing blogs but to do something.It is about coming together and do any possible work to its last destiny.Just writing blogs won’t help .I’d like to say,if man can be a shy social animal,why can’t the tigers.I don’t have any economic income.But if i had any I’d had spent whole for them.I’d like to ask all high professionals can’t they donate even 10% of their income for the welfare of these beauties.I’m not saying just for tigers but for all flora and fauna in the verge of extinction.A bird is just about 14 in the whole world.as tiger is the national animal we give him importance.As i said writing blogs won’t help.I stop here.
It saddened my heart to see figure 1411 its shame to us, our national animal is going to extinct and worst part is people are not bothered the people who kill them should be punished but people who are using product made out of their skin should be hanged what pride they show off by killing poor creatures….this Demand and supply in market has to be stopped then only they can be preserved…..those beautiful stripes and that vibrant colour and that Roar is our nation’s pride and we are selling it off…
thanks to Aircel for this initiative but a lot more is required to be done….mine nad my friends support is there for save tigers movement..
save our tigers our national animal is extincting
donot let our nationaal animal get extinct. SAVE OUR TIGERS!
Donot kill those for whomn your pride is a majority,but kill them for whom your pride is at stake-the hunters.
I feel that why these poachers are there in this world.They are destroying humanity.The tigers are even killed .Just 1411 left-verey bitter to swallow.I feel that these hunters should be severely penalized who everyday do kill our national pride.Leave the question of other countries but think about how your nation is.Please ….. my message is-Live and Let live.
this is really a big shame for all of us, coz we spend loads of money in entertainment such as cricket, soccer Etc, but nobody is bother for our national animal. even Tigers have been keep on hunted only because they can not speak!!!! really big shame guys, even on me also still we have 1411 left, so atleast try to save as many as possible!!!! also thanks to aircel to take the initiate!!!!
just save our tigers
i know only one thing that they r our NATIONAL ANIMAL
and how we will allow them to vanish in our motherland that is INDIA
So just raise ur words so as to save our “NATIONAL ANIMAL - TIGERS”
Its a war between us and the goverment of India and all those peole who don’t even care about this matter.
I think this venture is one of a kind and I am with them and do whatever I can to save our National Animal. Tigers are our pride and don’t let our pride go.
P.S. I thank Aircel for this venture and all those people who are supporting the venture.
Its a big shame for all of us as a nation.Our national animal is getting extinct.If we do not stand for this movement now then days are not far when national animal will be known as an extinct animal and our coming generation will not be able to witness and see these beautiful creatures.
They are our pride and we should not let it go like this.
I want to thank Aircel to take this initiative…it is very thoughtful and a small step to better future!
Its really very shocking and shameful on the part of we Indians to learn that our so called national heritage is on the verge of extinction. If we still do not wake up and take a strict initiative then that day is not far away when there will be no tiger alive in our country. Please take the initiative and make the government understand that the one who is killing tigers must not be left so easily. I request the people of my country to come together for a good cause which essential for a better India, our India.
Please think over it.
we all have to weak-up and save them
