I am half Indian myself ad live in the USA. What really needs to be done is more armed guards need to be protecting the Tigers for poachers and poachers need to face life in jail for what they have done. Also, if you can take almost every Tiger or every Tiger and put them in a captivity situation where it is regulated they need to breed as many as they can taking them from the wild into a safe situation for breeding and all. Is there anything at all I can do to help? I am trying to spread the word about this. Can I donate? The Indian government has not been serious at all and in my opinion very lax in their efforts to save the Tiger it is as if they really do not care. I am sorry but Tigers come first before people needing space to live in India. I strongly feel if no action is taken by the Indian government Tigers will be extinct in my lifetime and I am 31 years old. Please tell me anything I can do? If this world can donate so much money for earthquake people in Haiti why not Tigers it can be done with the a lot of commercials and media attention worldwide. This is a crisis and calls for dramatic action. I am angry that India has not protected it's Tigers enough! The Tribes cannot continue to add to the decline of Tigers. India needs to take drastic action and put Tigers before the Tribes so that we can save them. Hello I also am outraged at the Indian government for this decrease in Tiger population of India.

The act poses no threat to forest or wildlife conservation and is in many ways the biggest step forward for such measures, for it is the first law to apply some accountability to the massive forest bureaucracy that claims total control over India's forests. The conservationists quoted here are all members of large heavily funded urban NGOs who work closely with the forest authorities and who are heavily invested in the forest bureaucracy. On the contrary, the biggest battles for protection of the environmen tin India today are not being fought by these types - who run away at the slightest sign of official wrath - but by communities in the affected areas who face both brutal police repression and attacks from forest authorities. See http://www.forestrightsact.com for more information on the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006.
