Save The Tiger – Your Support is Needed

There are a lot of things kids can do to save endangered species. But adults can also play a part too. There has been an effort to keep tigers from becoming extinct, and much of the efforts of conservationists have not been in vain. However, for any endangered species to survive, it needs more than just a few hundred concerned individuals. It needs young adults and children to be aware; business people to be conscious and caring; and it needs funds from anyone willing to share.

There is the Save The  Tiger fund which aims to keep tigers living safely in the wild. It began in 1995 and a few other conservationist groups have followed and put up their own organization. You can choose from any of these organizations as long as you confirm their authenticity before sharing what you have with them.

Some of the concerns being addressed for the tigers are conservation, management of habitat, food sources, poaching and protection, tiger ecology, and getting the locals to be more active in saving the tigers.

Again, the problem with wild tigers as with any other endangered species is human. We are the ones killing our animals and trees. We are encroaching on their homes and not giving them alternatives. We are getting their food sources and not replacing it. We are tainting their waters and not cleaning up. They are not under threat from predators unless it is something we instigated by depleting the food sources of predators who turn to tigers for food.

By doing nothing, we are contributing to the problem. This does not mean having to travel to jungles and far-flung areas to help conservationists.  Talking about the problem, going green, voting the right people into office – all these are ways you can help without even donating money. It’s not just about money. More important is the time you spend talking to others about it and living the right green lifestyle so that there is less polluting the water, air, and land.
