SAVE the Real TIGER

Shashank Poudel


As an urban youth living a fairly advantageous life what does tiger mean to most of us? A question we need to ask ourselves if we are to protect nature’s magnificent treasury. Probably for youngsters in Kathmandu or Bharatpur tiger means a dangerous beast. We feared it in our zoo visits and still watch a documentary in National Geographic channel but we don’t know what benefits of conserving it are. Why would we care for its survival? Do we know what the plight of the tiger is? We don’t know that our future is in peril if we fail to save the tiger from extinction.
