15th
July, 2012: Sunday is meant to be an off day, a day to relax and rest. For the
tigers, tiger lovers and the tiger conservation family, 15th July
2012 (Sunday) will be remembered and rejoiced. NDTV’s noble initiative in
collaboration with the AIRCEL NDIA in informing the world and more so
campaigning for the conservation of tigers is appreciated and admired beyond
words. I am glad that NDTV’s initiative has reminded the world including the
poachers and their net works till the end users that it’s high time that we
work to save tigers. I wish that this has reached to the deaf ears
of the greedy illegal net working net work on tiger trade and poaching.

If we are to succeed with the tiger
coservation, to me, India is the energy and only we can if India does, as India is home to more than half of the worlds
tiger population. It is a delightful
moment for me as I spent all my Sunday watching Amitabh Bachchan as
an ambassador for the tiger conservation
taking the energetic move on NDTV for the tigers cause. I think this has really
amplified the passion for the tiger lovers to Just love more.
I pay my deepest respect to every individual
who are involved in working to save these majestic creatures. As a person
working for the same in Bhutan, I salute the field staff in all the tiger
reserves of india for exhibiting such an unmatching conservation service. After 5 years leaving the Indira Gandhi
National Forest Academy, seeing the same
field people on the NDTV, whom I met during my those by-gone training days still
working for the same with same energy is encouraging. I still remember them
sharing their experiences and difficulties faced in the field and I am
expericencing exactly what they told me
those days. My salute to them.
Encouraging to
know that the fund raising initiative for tiger conservation has received a
great support and this is truly and
indication that the people have realized the importance of their (tigers)
existence. This is a reflection of “Better
late than never” . I wish that the media agencies in all other 12 tiger
range countries adopt this noble initiative as NDTV did. More so, I wish the
media agencies in my own country (Bhutan) appreciates the NDTV’s initiative and
organize in a similar way. Bhutan has Tigers and they need the similar
protection and initiatives.
If we don’t unite to work together, we will
lose them to the hands of few selfish individuals through poaching and illegal
trade. Where as, if we join our hands,
then these remaining few numbers of tigers can be a common asset where they
become a global asset.
Congratulations
for the Rs. 5.81 crore money raised in just 12 hours time for the cause of
tiger conservation. Thank you NDTV-AIRCEL for this initiative and your reminder
for the noble cause. I hope the world is
listening.
Thank you for the information, i didn't know about the initiative. Well, it is a thought provoking initiative, liked the idea and hope we can do it too!
ReplyDeleteChoki, My pleasure. I too hope that we get similar support from Bhutanese for Bhutan's tigers
ReplyDeleteDo we mark 15th july as tiger conservation day in Bhutan. if not, why don't we implement here in Bhutan too as it will make ppl alert abt tiger and wild life conservation. Hats off for the above mentioned initiative.
ReplyDeleteThinley)---Global tiger conservation day is observed on 29th July everywhere and not 15th July. 15th July is the day when NDTV initiated a fund raising for conserving tigers.
