Tigers are a symbol of the forests- a metaphor for their well-being and health. If we protect them and their habitats, we effectively protect thousands of species which share their home; ensure the water supply that support over 600+ rivers which originate in their habitat, and preserve more than 40,000 sq.km. of carbon-storing rich forests. Reasons enough, are these not?
Apart from this, consider their raw magnetic appeal. Seeing them in the wild is an experience few can ever forget. Let us work to ensure that the possibility to experience their majestic presence is open to future inhabitants of our planet!
