"If we can’t save the tiger, then how can we save ourselves?"

- We have to act now or this icon ic animal could be extinct in less than 20 years
- Man is solely responsible for the slaughter of the tiger for commercial gain. In the natural world the tiger's only predator is man
- As apex predators, tigers shape the community structure of ecosystems. They prevent over-grazing by limiting herbivore numbers and maintain ecological integrity.
- Tigers are solitary and have large home ranges making them excellent ‘umbrella’ species providing space for a variety of other species to flourish.
- In India, more than 350 rivers originate from tiger reserves. These reserves also sequester carbon, provide oxygen and slowly release ground water to regulate floods.
- Protecting existing tiger habitats and the reforestation of degraded habitat may help buffer the poorest communities in Asia against the impacts of river siltation and flooding, while providing global benefits.
- Saving the tiger will help communities and local populations benefit from habitat resources and tourism.
