Save the tigers

According to a survey of 2004, there were only 440 tigers left in the Sundarbans. The present figure is much smaller, only 106, which is very depressing. Tigers' skin and other body parts are sold at high prices and that is why poachers kill them. Saving tigers is not just a question of aesthetics; it is an issue that concerns the whole ecosystem of the Sundarbans. Something must be done by the authority concerned to save this endangered species as early as possible.
