The tiger, a phantom of emerald shadows, is a creature of myth and majesty. As the apex predator of the jungle, it embodies raw power and ethereal beauty. Yet, this iconic species teeters on the brink of extinction, its survival threatened by habitat loss, poaching, and the relentless march of human encroachment.
India, home to 70% of the world's tigers, has made significant strides in conservation, with 54 reserves providing sanctuary to an estimated 3,682 of these majestic animals. The tiger holds immense cultural and religious significance in India, symbolizing power, strength, and protection.
