Deforestation, poaching, revenge hunting, Chinese medications, and livestock pressures are some of the evil reasons due to which population of our royal big cats is decreasing at an alarming rate. We all love the tigers, but exactly what should we do to save their existence? Thankfully, there are numerous organizations overwhelmed about the threatening conditions of tigers’ existence and they are implementing huge efforts on their projects to save this endangered species. Some of these organizations are Indian Forest Services, Wildlife Institute of India and National Tiger Conservation Authority taking strict measures to safeguard tigers. They are implementing various effective projects like Travel Operators for Tigers. Most of us strongly believe that Eco-Friendly Tourism can play a vital role to safeguard the tigers. How Tourism can do this? According to Julian Matthews (Founder and Chairman of Travel Operators for Tigers), tourism gives amazing protection to the tigers by passive monitoring and exploring them. This is true there is a substantial impact on the overall importance of the national parks of tourism. For instance, when domestic and foreign tourists stay at Bandhavgarh hotels or book Bandhavgarh tour package, tourism increases local and international revenues of the government. Rather than just upgrading rangers’ management, tourism also improves the vigilance of naturalist guides, conservationists, tourists and hotel owners. In this way, our royal tigers get protection from all sides. Despite of threatening existence, tigers are still surviving with their iconic tourist importance. More than half of the revenue of tourism comes only with these existence of these ‘striped golden’ cats. Being the most sought after point of interest for the tourists, Tigers are the lifeblood of national parks. Hence, most of the revenues from tourism are spend directly on the conservation of highly-significant tigers. These are tigers only which are responsible for handsome amount of revenues from tourism in India. According to a survey…… Around 1411 tigers were left in India by 2008, which is a sudden downfall from over 3642 in the year 2002. In fact, this is a rough estimate and many conservation organizations claim that lesser than 1411 tigers are living in India till date. Role of tourism in conserving tigers Roughly 10 out of 37 tiger reserves organize Tiger Tourism in India. Saving tigers by tourism is still a million-dollar question whose accurate answer is not revealed yet. However, National Tiger Conservation Authority still has reasons to prove how tourism is saving tigers. The national parks and sanctuaries are conserving a large population of tigers left in India. International funding is also using to conserve the tigers along with government funding. Some countries like South Africa are making maintenance cost for the national parks from the tourism. Hence, it is important for the Wildlife Tourism of India to learn something from these countries. Only a small percentage of maintenance cost is collected at wildlife sanctuaries of India. Bottom Line During the period of rainfall when tourism is slow, the wild poaches are activated to start their business without being caught by the hoteliers, tourists and tour operators. Hence, it is important for the government to upgrade the population of tigers by taking strict measures. Visit tigergarhresort.com to book Bandhavgarh tour packages and Bandhavgarh hotels.
