| 4,347 | 9:27 am PST, Jan 31 | Ms. | NANDINI GARG | As human populations continue to rise out of control and more space is taken for human habitation and occupation, wild animals of all types are pushed onto ever shrinking habitats. This is clearly the fault of the human race. Poaching, deforestation, and human expansion brought all species of tiger to the brink of extinction. Today, we are by no means out of the woods. All remaining sub-species of tiger are endangered, making the tiger species as a whole nearly extinct. The time is now to save these magnificent cats, before they vanish from the earth forever. The power and beauty of these animals is indisputable. Education is key to developing sensitivity and awareness to our environment. Tigers are an integral part of the ecosystem, and a major link in the food chain. Tigers have been bestowed magical and supernatural properties by many societies, and have also been revered as gods. All living creatures of mother earth depend on one another for survival. We as human beings are brothers and sisters to every living being, from the plants to the animals to each other. We should be ashamed of ourselves for this immature and very unwise use of our planet ...we need to wise up quickly – there is little time left for many species, maybe even our own ... Humankind is not above all else in the world, but an intricate part of all in the world. | |

Save India's Bengal Tigers that Face Imminent Extinction!
The Royal Bengal tiger of India is one of just 5 remaining species of tiger in the world today. Their populations are declining at an alarming rate and are threatened with imminent extinction in the wild. These declines have continued despite the tiger being listed on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
All over India, key tiger areas are being destroyed for industrial concerns at the whim of politicians seeking to line their own pockets. The direct result is a country that loses an average of one tiger a day from its dwindling population to poaching for trade, habitat loss and prey decline.
By destroying the tigers' habitat, you are also destroying the environment that local people depend on for food and water. The tiger is a symbol of the overall health of India, its environment and its people. We are all together in this small world and it is critical to protect the environment now, before it is too late.
Each undersigned name represents 1 remaining tiger in your country today, and wishes to express deep disappointment with the Indian Ministry of the Environment and forest officials for their continuing failure to take appropriate efforts in the protection of the tiger.
To do nothing today, leaves us all fewer, if any, options for tomorrow.
Sincerely
the Undersigned.
