Tiger Reserves in India

India is home to highest number of tigers in the world. There are many tiger reserves in India which provide protection to this majestic creature of almighty. Some of the most visited tiger reserves are Jim Corbett, Kanha and Bandhavgarh National parks. But due to more and more visitors reaching these areas the ecology of the areas is getting disturbed and putting pressure on tigers. Government and responsible officials need to look into this and do something to maintain the balance of the flow of tourist in the region. It should be done in a manner that tigers should not feel unsafe. Tiger is a territorial animal and we need to see that we are not forcing the tigers to migrate away from their territory. Variety of safaris are organized in the forest to explore the wildlife of the wildlife parks such as horse safari, elephant safari and jeep safari, but due to carelessness and ignorance of officials visitors unknowingly pollute the environment of the region by leaving plastic materials and playing music. These trivial issues needs to be taken seriously.
Tiger is our national animal and we need to protect them to maintain the identity of our nation.

King in Deep Trouble

India managed to get self sufficiency in lot of things since the indepence. There was a time when India has to beg for everything to the international community. But today the picture has changed, for good. India is now highest producer of milk and many food products which shows how serious we were to do things on our own. We manage to develop, if not at fast pace, with consistent pace. Today we have explored many mineral resources which has brought money and development to many areas. This shows the seriousness of people and government for development.

But this fast pace development have made us selfish... which has hampered our environment and today the situation has become alarming. We are so selfish that we did not even bother about our national animal "The Tiger". Government officials are so very irresponsible, example of which can be seen when they declared the population of tiger in India to be 3,500. And when the population was measured by NGO it came out be only 1250. This shows they are not doing there work sincerely and are least bothered about what they have been appointed for.

Though the resposibility of the officials is much more than normal people. But even we need to do our bit also. We need to educate people why is it necessary to save the tigers and how it benefits in saving the environment which will directly or indirectly benefit us.

Wake up. Save the King, it is in deep trouble. We need them.

Save the Tigers.

Save the Environment.

Tiger - Save them, we need them


Tyger! Tyger! burning bright


In the forests of the night,


What immortal hand or eye


Could frame thy fearful symmetry?


- William Blake


Above words defines the Tiger, mightiest of all the animals. Highest population of Tiger is in India, many of the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries have been declared Tiger Reserves, which provide shelter to the king of the jungle.


Population of Tiger which was more than 100,000 in the beginning of the 20th century have now reduced to 4-5,000 (Many say this has reduced to as low as 2500-3000). Largest population of Tigers are in India, most of them are Royal Bengal Tiger. Some of the important tiger reserves of India are -



  • Ranthambore

  • Kanha

  • Bandhavgarh

  • Sunderbans

  • Corbett


Corbett national park has mainly population of Indo-Chinese subspecies of Tiger. These tiger reserves where made to protect tigers and provide the environment to live in wild and grow. But somehow all the efforts seems to have gone invain. Like in case of Sariska which is so called a tiger reserve in state of Rajasthan in India. All the tigers of Sariska have vanished and poachers are eyeing other tiger reserves to eliminate them from other tiger reserves. Indian government needs to take some effective steps to stop these things which remains a major issue. India may boast of highest population of tiger in wild for now, but the days are not far when we will say "India was the Home of Tigers".



Fast pace development needs to learn how to develop without disturbing the ecology and environment. Development is putting pressure on our environment and we are not able to protect it. There should be an honest approach towards saving our environment, our jungles, our animal reserves and wildlife parks which are very necessary to maintain the environmental cycle. It is illogical to blame the Chinese medicine for this fast reducing tiger population. Because handful number of tigers are not and can never be enough for making the medicine for more than a billion population of whole of China. Government should stop giving lame excuses and concern officials needs to be more responsible and honest. Otherwise the disaster is in waiting.
