Going, going, gone

Awareness of the fact that tigers are a precious and valuable heritage of our country should be made amongst people. We must keep in mind while trying to grasp the importance of tiger conservation in Bangladesh, that it's not only the job of the government or conservationists to bring about change to the diminishing Bengal tiger population. We may be living miles and miles away from the Sundarbans but extinction of the tigers in Bangladesh is a challenge for us all.

General donations to save the Royal Bengal Tigers in the Sundarbans are one way to actively help the conservation effort, as well as awareness so that we think of the tigers as our friends not enemies and as essential assets of our country.
