Invite: Save Tiger, Save Humanity Rally in Teen Murti Bhavan

Even as there is no reliable estimate on the number of tigers that walk the jungles of India, and no agreement even on how to carry out the census – the tiger population in the country is on the expressway to extinction.

Tigers and the large number of ecosystem services they provide are being lost at an unprecedented rate. This has put the future of our generation and the generations to come, under grave danger.

The tiger is facing threats from poaching, habitat destruction owing to urbanisation, climate change and a mismanagement that has plagued the country ever since. Unfortunately, the efforts being made to help the tiger fight for survival (his and ours) are but a drop in the ocean.

Thus, Delhi Greens, and a series of organisations have come together and have called for a Rally for saving the tiger, and the right of future generations to survive and prosper.

One thought on “Invite: Save Tiger, Save Humanity Rally in Teen Murti Bhavan

  1. The classics, in the Western academic tradition, refer to cultures of classical antiquity, namely the Ancient Greek and Roman cultures. The study of the classics is considered one of the cornerstones of the humanities; however, its popularity declined during the 20th century. Nevertheless, the influence of classical ideas in many humanities disciplines, such as philosophy and literature, remains strong; for example, the Gilgamesh Epic from Mesopotamia, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Vedas and Upanishads in India and various writings attributed to Confucius, Lao-tse and Chuang-tzu in China.’^’.
