When we protect one tiger, we protect about a 100 sq. km of area and thus save other species living in its habitat. Therefore, it’s not just about saving a beautiful animal. It is about making sure that we live a little longer as the forests are known to provide ecological services like clean air, water, pollination, temperature regulation etc. This way, our planet can still be home to our children.

Your generous contribution will make a great difference in saving this majestic specie.

It’s very sad to know that there are only 1411 tigers left in India and if proper care is taken about them they will extinct soon! Tiger is the Indian National Animal and it’s the high time for every Indian to come forward and save tigers.
