The secret to India’s tiger success:
Safe Homes: India has created special tiger reserves, like national parks, where humans don’t disturb the tigers. These are like tiger mansions!
Connecting the Dots: Imagine stepping stones across a river. These “stepping stones” for tigers are called corridors. They link the tiger reserves, allowing tigers to roam freely and find new homes.
Helping Hands: When local communities are involved in protecting tigers, it makes a big difference. When people understand how important tigers are, they help keep them safe from poachers (people who hunt animals illegally).
Sharing the Land: In some areas, tigers and people share the land. It’s like having a friendly neighbour! As long as everyone respects each other, it can work.
