The national animal of India is tiger. The Tiger is the spirit of the Indian jungle, the symbol of India's wilderness-one we are pledged to preserve. Tigers occupy the pinnacle of the food chain and a healthy tiger population is an indicator of the well being of the whole forest. Nowadays tiger species is becoming very less in India comparing to other countries. There are 37 Tiger sanctuaries in India. However, 17 sanctuaries are on the verge of losing their tiger population. Overall in tiger there was 40,000 in the last century and now they are just 1411 tigers in India. Last year was the worst year for tigers in India, with 86 deaths reported. There are vast extents forests in India where tigers are absent not because of direct poaching but because there prey has been hunted out. But given the enormous public support, the cause of the wild tiger is not a lost one.
