Dear All, Even as there is no reliable estimate on the number of tigers that walk the jungles of India, and no agreement even on how to carry out the census - the tiger population in the country is on the expressway to extinction.
Tigers and the large number of ecosystem services they provide are being lost at an unprecedented rate. This has put the future of our generation and the generations to come, under grave danger. The tiger is facing threats from poaching, habitat destruction owing to urbanisation, climate change and a mismanagement that has plagued the country ever since. Unfortunately, the efforts being made to help the tiger fight for survival (his and ours) are but a drop in the ocean. Thus, Delhi Greens, and a series of organisations have come together and have called for a Rally for saving the tiger, and the right of future generations to survive and prosper. Rally: Save Tiger, Save Humanity Date: July 28th, 2009 Time: 09.00 am to 12.30 am Venue: Teen Murti Bhavan (Opp. President of India's House) www.delhigreens.org/campaigns/savetiger Inaugural: Tiger Consultation Workshop By Dr. Karan Singh, Member of Parliament Time: 09.30 am to 10.30 am ------------------------------------------------------ Hear about Climate Change from the man who told it first to the world. 06.00 pm: Founder of 350.org and a profilic author, Bill McKibben will give an inspiring talk on all the climate action taking place and all that needs to be done. He will be introduced by Bittu Sahgal, Editor, Sanctuary Magazine. With the tiger numbers going down every day, this is our very last change to save the tiger, our future and the future of generations to come. It is on us now to secure our own future. We look forward to seeing all of you on the Rally Day on the 28th of July, 2009. Hoping for a tigerful future!
