#InternationalTigerDay #GlobalTigerDay 🐯🐅 Commemorates the importance of a vital keystone species whose numbers in the wild have been on the decline worldwide, bar India. However, before getting jubilant over the rising tiger numbers, it is pivotal to acknowledge the challenges associated with big cat #conservation in our country. Increased urbanisation has enhanced the odds of tiger - human conflicts which have consistently been on the rise with dastardly repercussions for the tigers left in the lurch. We need to develop sustainable tiger habitats and corridors to ensure the safe passage of these prized mammals from one protected area to another. It is also cardinal to prevent accidental tiger deaths by way of electrocution by powered fences or forest fires triggered by human activities. https://www.instagram.com/p/CR6xBYli7zX/?utm_medium=tumblr
