Animals like tigers are dangerous for humans; even then Project Tiger has been launched. Why should we protect such animals?
Solution
Project Tiger was generally termed as tiger conservation programme which was launched by the Government of India. As Bengal Tiger is the National animal of India, it is very important and also essential to save these precious spices.
Complete answer:
Bengal Tiger is the national animal of India. In the 1970s, people found out that the population of these tigers was depleting at a higher rate. Their habitats and natural heritage where they live were in danger. Thus, the government decides to have a programme which constitutes the safety of their natural habitat and conservation of their population and prohibits hunting.
The objectives of this project include
-There will be Reduction of the risk factors that lead to depletion in the population of the tiger and help them in increasing the population by giving suitable management and habitat. And the ecosystem must be recovered in which they are most comfortable.
-These projects were also developed to maintain a tiger population which has economical value, cultural value and ecological values.
-The other methods were also generated for the counting and for the monitoring of the tigers. A national level administration was generated for the smooth conduction of the project, which is known as National -Tiger Conservation Authority. This authority constructed many conservational units all over India. Like, -Western Ghats conservation unit, Sariska Conservational unit, Kaziranga Conservational unit, etc.
