The fight for tigers by Jana Passova

There should be realized the Tiger Project for new tiger reserves creation in India. It should cost about 153 million dollars. There should come into being eight new reservations which will cover an area of more than 11.900 square miles.There should be established a new special force of rangers. Every ranger will need to go over a special training and they will have to be armed to be able to save tigers from poachers and illegal wildlife traders. There will exist an extra funding that will be contribute of private groups. Anyway it is not as easy as it might seem. In area that will be used for reservations is built about 250 villages that needs to be relocated. The plan of relocation has been generated already. It will have an impact on 200.000 people. Every relocated family will get more than 25.500 dollars. India has also another plan. The second one is about that the government is planning to spend more than 13 million dollars for endangered tigers. These are just plans right now. But they are supposed to pass later this month. But that is not still enough. The existing system have to be changed as well. It will need a financial injection from funds. It is a next step how to protect big cats. India has a big problem with decreasing number of the tiger population. A number of cats is dropping very fast. Five years ago there lived about 3.600 tigers. There was found about 1.411 big cats last month. If india really wants to help big cats to survive, it needs to do it fast.
