 Why is biodiversity important?
Like other species, mankind and her environment depend on nature for countless
matters. Food, water, and medicines for example, are ingredients taken from nature
which we require in our daily lives.
Especially in our food production, our dependence on nature is apparent

Biodiversity & Tiger

c. Ensuring our ecological security

d. Preserving something irreplaceable

e. Ethical reason
 F. Role in food web

Tiger is a perfect  carnivore   and feeds on a variety of wild animals.At times though it has
been seen to feed on grasses for dietary fibre with the fruit of the slow march tree beingthe
favourate .The diet  a tiger usually consists of 35  to 90 pounds of meat in one sitting and
if the hunt is not finished being eaten, the tiger returns to the carcass  when it feels hungry.
The tiger di et consists of the following   that constitues portion of  the tiger food web .  
 Tiger Food chain

be defined as  process of the transfer of energy  from one  trophic level toFood chain can
another   through the process of eating and being eaten.The different  members in each trophic
level either act as predators or consumers  and finally the decomposers  set in to  decompose
the organic remains and return the elements to nature.There  are different types of  food chains
like Tiger food chain in forest, grazing food chain, detritus food chain and parasitic food
chains, aquatic food chains etc.
 Constitutional Provisions

48A. Protection and improvement of environment and

safeguarding of forests and wild life.—The State shall
endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to
safeguard the forests and wild life of the country.

51A. Fundamental duties.— It shall be the duty of every citizen of

India— (g) to protect and improve the natural environment including
forests, lakes, rivers and wild life, and to have compassion for living
creatures;
Reasons for Extinction
 •Deforestation & Habitat loss :-

Across all of Asia, vast forests have been cleared for

agriculture. As forest space diminishes, tigers can't find
the prey they need to survive. As a result, tigers have
begun to eat the livestock belonging to villagers.
Three sub-species have become extinct in the last
60 years - the Bali, Caspian and Java tigers.
Nearly half of all wild tigers belong to the Bengal
sub-species, found in India and several of its
neighbors. .

Not Only a Tree is Cut Down

 •Poaching :-
tiger's coat sells for as much as $20,000 on the black market. Tiger bones, claws, eyes and
even the whiskers command high prices for use in Eastern potions and elixirs. To fulfill the
demand, the world's last tigers are being illegally trapped, poisoned and shot by the
poachers and then smuggled across international boundaries. To protect their livestock
villagers kill the tigers
 For Medicines-
•The demand for remedies made from tiger parts has increased due to increasing affluence in Asia,
and laws preventing international trade in tiger parts are largely ignored. Hong Kong is the main
importer of tiger products, with tiger bone the most used part. The bones are crushed to be used in
anti-inflammatory drugs for rheumatism and arthritis, amongst many other uses. The trade in tiger
skins is also increasing Tigers are poached for their highly prized skins and body parts, which are used
in traditional Chinese medicine
 Climate Change
•----The recent phenomenon of global warming is also considered to be a major threat to global
biodiversity.[example coral reefs -which are biodiversity hotspots- will be lost in 20 to 40 years if global
warming continues at the current trend An expected sea level rise of 28 cm above 2000 levels may cause
the remaining tiger habitat in the Sundarbans to decline by 96 percent, pushing the total population to
fewer than 20 breeding tigers, according to the study
•Human activities are the principal cause of declining tiger numbers. Hunting was a
major cause of mortality in the past; both for trophies and as part of organised pest control
measures
 Effect on the Biodiversity
1 ).Tigers need extensive, intact landscapes and act as an umbrella species — by saving
tigers you save other plants and animals that share their range.
2 ).Tigers…are predestined by their perch at the top of the food web to be big in size and
sparse in numbers. They live on such a small portion of life’s available energy as always to skirt
the edge of extinction, and they are the first to suffer when the ecosystem around them starts to
erode.”
There are about 3,200 tigers left on Earth. Four species of tigers have already faced
complete extinction, which leaves five species to be saved. Fortunately, the United Nations
has named 2010 the “Year of Biodiversity,” and has created a list of ten critically important
species that are to be watched closely during the next 12 months — the tiger is number one
on that list.
 The 2010 Year of the Tiger will mark an important year for conservation efforts to save
wild tigers, with WWF continuing to play a vital role in implementing bold new strategies to
save this magnificent Asian big cat

Steps ,How to Save tigers

a)Protect forests:- In order to save tigers forests need to be protected. Apparently
the species are becoming extinct because of the loss of their natural habitat.
“Do not cut down the  forest with its tigers and do not banish the tigers from the
forest; the tiger perishes without the forest and the forest perishes without its
tigers”  - Mahabharata, 400 BCE, Udyogaparva

•Project Tiger -In the late 1960s, Guy Mountfort, an

English conservationist and a founder of World Wildlife
Fund (now called World Wide Fund for Nature), was
able to convince Prime Minister Indira Gandhi that the
status of the tiger was so precarious in India that urgent
steps had to be taken to pull it back from the brink of
extinction.

• Tiger Reserves- Initially, 9 Tiger Reserves were created

under Project Tiger. Today, there are 38 Tiger Reserves in 17
states. For more information on Project Tiger, visit

1. Most tigers have more than 100 stripes, and no two
tigers have the same stripes.
2. A tiger marks its territory by spraying trees and bushes
(contained inside the territory) with its urine, and also
leaves deep scratches on tree trunks.
3. One averaged sized tiger can eat up to 60 pounds of
meat at a single time!
4. A tiger’s canine teeth can grow up to three inches long,
easily capable of crunching through the spine of any
creature on Earth: like a warm knife through butter.
5. A tiger eats around six kilos of meat per day, but can
go as long as a week without a meal.
6. A tiger’s saliva is antiseptic, and comes handy when a
tiger cleans its wounds.

Endangered Species
Tigers are one of the Earth's fastest disappearing
species. At the beginning of this century there were
about 100,000 wild tigers. Today there are less than
2,500!
Originally, there were nine subspecies of tiger - 3 of
which are now extinct.
The 6 remaining tiger species: Amur (Siberian) ,
Malayan, South China, Indo-Chinese, Royal
Bengal and Sumatran all have very shaky futures.
