Well, the caption clearly proclaims what I am going to write about. And readers, don't get carried away by the spelling of "TYGER" since this is how William Blake spelled it in his famous poem on tigers.
Alright, without beating around the bush let us come to the point. The TIGER is a magnificent specie which is significant not only from aspects of ecological balance but also because it is a spectacular creation of The Almighty. But sadly, population of this amazing animal has come down to a great extent in India. Isn't it a shame even talking about 'remaining' tigers? This word itself suggests the plight of affairs where all efforts to revive this specie failed big time. We will have to value the existence of this animal else it will be too late to be sorry.
Poaching and devegetation are the main causes why the animal kingdom is suffering. We easily accept the fact that human population is ever-growing and always in need of more space and more natural resources. In the attempt of getting 'more' of everything, we have been disturbing the flora and fauna around us. Several species of both the plant and animal kingdom have vanished without even being talked about. But the least we can do is understand. Understanding the situation will help us being more responsible towards our surroundings. Proper monitoring of increasing rural population - especially near forests - and making villagers self-sufficient will keep them from threatening wild life. Poachers cannot enter reserved forests without a helping hand from inside, which to our belief is very easy to avoid given a proper chain of command and ownership of these issues. Awareness to geo-political and social events can be another cue here. For instance, the year 2010 is the Year of the Tiger in China and other lands with Chinese population. This may have an adverse effect on the population of tiger because of the increase in demand of tiger skin, nails, teeth, etc. We should proudly participate in celebrations of the Year of the Tiger only when tigers in India and the World are saved from extinction at all costs.
Let us resolve to make all efforts in significantly bringing up the population of tigers in India from 1411.

As William Blake rightly says, "...What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?..."
