Tigers in India

Everyone’s favourite animal? The biggest of the big cats, the tiger is so much more than a lion wearing stripes. Its aura is incomparable. From the dawn of civilisation, the tiger has been entwined in the human psyche more than any other animal. Today it is perhaps the ultimate wildlife icon that stirs the emotions and irresistibly combines hypnotic beauty, grace, power, mystery, majesty and vulnerability. And yet it might be the first big cat we condemn to extinction. Tragedy and travesty in equal measure. Would you want your grand children to live in a world without wild tigers?
