Some good news for Indian Tigers

This is good news. There are, however, still big concerns about the terrain these elusive creatures roam, but an increase in their monitored numbers is a good step or should I say a tiger paw print in the right direction.

Hi Mrs T

It is a sad senario of beautiful and a wonderful creature as the Tiger

I hope that whatever happens that Tigers get some 'value'  at the end of the day.

Hi Chris

A 20 per cent is a great thing and good news about the species

We can only wish for the best  now

Hi Pipit

An increase of 20% isn't bad. That is good news.

However, until the Chinese admit that there is no place for tigers in medicine, they are still at risk of extinction.

I know Chris. It makes me so sad that these backward beliefs still exist. I know it's Chinese culture but surely it could be stamped out now, knowing the critical danger of extinction.

Very sad.

That is good news.......

I'd love to go to India and see them....but unforunately, I know that I would suffer from 'Delhi Belhi' within 24 hours of arrving. Which is why I bring half of Boots the Chemist with me everywhere!

Oh, do bring the tone down Mr C!!!!

LOL :))

I remember having a conversation about this 'Tiger' issue in 2006 and it was the same as here now - words are the same.and so forth... after all this time too..

The newspapers always bring it back to our hearts here all these year later

Things never change to be honest in some cases but the tiger are the most important issue as things are now and let it be so now and in the future.

I think one of the key factors in protecting the Tigers is to preserve and expand the Tiger corridors.

These corridors help the Tigers to connect with each other. They are threatened by human development and expansion.

It looks like the Indian Environment Minister is aware of the critical importance of these corridors so there may be some hope of the government making their preservation a priority.

I do hope so!!
