SAVE Tiger, Save HUMANITY
Last Call to Save Tiger, and Humanity.
Why this Rally?
Even as there is no reliable estimate on the number of tigers that walk the jungles of India, and no agreement even on how to carry out the census - the tiger population in the country is on the expressway to extinction.
Tigers and the large number of ecosystem services they provides are being lost at an unprecedented rate. This has put the future of our generation and the generations to come, under grave danger.
It is for this reason that large number of school children and civil society are gathering to lobby for sustainable development and immediate action for protecting the tiger.
