Fellowship media briefing workshop : Tigers, tiger habitats and their conservation in India , CSE, April 25-26, New Delhi
Posted on 21 Feb, 2012 09:17 AMOrganizer: Centre for Science and Environment (CSE)
Description:
India hosts a majority of the world’s tiger population -- about 1,700 tigers, according to the May 2011 census. But a combination of threats is holding this meagre number to ransom, and poaching and trade in wildlife parts is just one of them. Shrinking habitat, conflicts with humans, growing tourist interference… the tiger has a lot to contend with. Policy intervention, protective legislations and international pressure have not made much of a difference, and if action is not taken effectively, the tiger will dwindle towards extinction.
