    TIGERS ON THE BRINK

    Not long ago as the headlights of the vehicle, cut through the misty twilight, the occupants were witness to “large” red orbs, the eyes of a Royal Bengal Tiger. The beam outlined the shape of beautiful specimen crossing the forested road. This was on the Kotgarh-Muniguda route. Such encounters were common in Orissa. Even the not so old nature loving readers will recall calls of a tiger, resounding in one of the forested valleys, while they traveled between places in Orissa. Today 3 of 8 sub-species of the Panthera tigris, are extinct in the wild, of these, the Panthera tigris tigris (Indian Tiger) holds promise for the species. Urgent recourse needs to be taken to ensure that the remaining continue to live. If the tiger goes, then most of the oxygen, fodder, water, etc. would also go. This book offers readers an insight into the Orissa situation and also throws up suggestions for tackling the bleak and fast retreating scenario.
