Save the Tiger!


This is a photo of a Bengal Tiger that I was fortunate the see in Bandhavgarh National Park, India. It's not easy taking photo's when on the back of a nervous elephant!

The Bengal Tiger is amongst the most beautiful yet endangered of the worlds big cats. To see such an animal in the wild is truly an awe inspiring privilege and surely a treasure to be guarded for future generations. Many of India's National Parks and Tiger Reserves have now relinquished their tigers to poachers and loss of natural habitat, this represents a sad betrayal of the National treasure and it is an urgent need for the nation to act decisively to preserve the Bengal Tigers existence in the wild.

There are many dedicated people and organizations trying to save the tiger from extinction in the wild, they can always benefit from our support in whatever possible way we can lend them a hand - for the sake of the beautiful tiger!
