project tiger
by Mir Tazkiya (grade 5)

Project Tiger is a wildlife conservation movement initiated in India in April 1973 by the government of India during Prime minister Indira Gandhi’s tenure to protect tigers. Project tiger launched in 1973-1974 one of our most successful conservation ventures in recent times.

When the Bengal Tiger of Sundarbans was threatened with extinction, the government started Project Tiger. Under this programme, tigers in various parts of India were given protection. This programme proved to be very effective. Currently, 27 tiger projects are being run in 14 states. The number of tigers has started to increase. The experience gained from the projects is now being used to run the Rhino Project. Rhinos are being protected at the Kaziranga National Park. The objective of the project was to ensure the survival and maintenance of the tiger population in specially constituted Tiger reserves throughout India.

Project Tiger has been undertaken by more than fifty national parks, and every park is putting an equal effort to save endangered species. We help to conserve wildlife by refusing to buy things made of ivory, horns and animal skin.

Let us make our country home to a rich variety of wildlife. We should protect our wildlife so that we can pass our national heritage on to future generations.

T- Tomorrow no one will know us.

I- Identity in the world.

G- Greatest king.

E- Everybody should protect us.

R- Roaring for saving himself.

S- So let’s start to save tigers.
