Comprehension

Tiger reserves are an important part of our tourism industry. There are 42 declared tiger reserves in India which are generally operated by state forest departments. Indian tiger, also known as Bengal tiger is the national animal of India. Its scientific name is Panthera tigris tigris. Tigers are maintained in reserves for their scientific, economic, aesthetic, cultural and ecological values and they are kept as national heritage for the education and enjoyment of the people.

But in recent years tiger tourism has become a troublesome issue due to the rapid growth of killing of tigers due to illegal poaching. This ia a wakeup call not only for the department of tourism but also for the various wildlife organisations and other governing bodies.

Since the governments have failed to implement adequate enforcement response and investigations, wildlife crimes have increased by years. Today there are some activists and environmentalists who are demanding a complete ban on public access to wildlife reserves. But such a complete ban would be a setback.
