Hey Chandra !!! you are absolutely correct when you say that how can we as Indians save our tigers by writing blogs and signing up on a website which is nothing but a massive advertising campaign. Its just a hoax and I’m sure this will die off within a few months.

Hi,

I totally agree and feel the same and wondered about it!! How can poachers blog? and firstly, do they blog? !

But a recent article in the paper with a proof that a tiger was being left in the jungle to mate was a welcome relief. Hope the message is spread and is not contained in the blogs. The best part about blogging is that we all atleast think of it. Is it not better than not at all speaking of it. Atleast there are some people who read and get goosebumps so lets blog for them.

Regards,
Nivedita

Well said bro

The other day, some one said, joining the “Save our tigers” campaign on the internet is like playing Farmville to address world food crisis. Royal waste of time, money and efforts.

Thank you very much for adding important points to the topic. All the money that goes into marketing and advertising such campaigns could be diverted into practical solutions like the things you have suggested.

You articulate my unspoken thoughts. Must confess I ignore the ‘invites’ and the ads. because I too don’t understand the point of this ‘Save Tiger’ campaign on TV and social media. Besides, aren’t messages they send out smack of ‘Herculean’ effort to preach to the converted ?
To my mind, saving tigers – protecting wildlife for that matter – is about strengthening surveillance to prevent poaching. Wonder if the Tiger reserves can be brought under 24×7 satellite scanning. Maybe Aircel and other corporates could chip in to meet the cost.
They can also sponsor publication of illustrated children books – with lots of tiger stories – to be distributed free among our school children.
Tiger paintings competitions can be sponsored.
Vulnerable population living on the fringe of the Tiger reserves need protection from man-eaters. Programmes to improve the lot of families that fell victim to tiger attacks in Sunderban and other areas could be formulated and sponsored .

Nice post dude….even I was wondering how an oridinary person can help save the tigers..
Btw Balayya should be appointed as the forest officer, only he can run faster than a bullet or even chew it else Vijayakanth coz all the bullets fired against him will be recotiated and the goondas will die. In this case, the hunter will be dead. LOL!!
