Big cats are some of Earth's largest and most threatened predators. Long persecuted as perceived threats to livestock and humans, hunted for their skins and purported medicinal values, and losing critical habitat to deforestation and conversion for agriculture, big cat populations have dwindled around the world for the past century. Recent years have seen the extinction of two sub-species of Indonesian tiger, the Caspian Tiger from western Central Asia, a sub-species of clouded leopard from Taiwan, and the Barbary lion from the wild in North Africa. Meanwhile, populations of the Iberian lynx, Asiatic cheetah and Amur leopard have fallen so low that they would be functionally extinct without current conservation efforts. Tiger populations have declined from more than 100,000 at the turn of the century to less than 6,000 today, while cheetah number are estimated at less than 15,000. Even lion populations have dropped: from over 100,000 one hundred years ago to probably less than 40,000 today.

Anything done to save these lovely creatures is never enough because of the brilliance of the bad boys in poaching them. It needs a movement to save them before they become pictures on walls for our future generations to admire.

Guys the best thing that we all can do is that we have to first start becoming consious about the surrounding around us, wat i mean to say is, we have to act for the safety of the animals first who are there in our own locality who are dying every day due to our own faults. Then we can think of saving the life of other big animals...

For this we first have to keep the local animal activist number handy so that if at all we see any small animal baby on the road we can quickly inform those people to come n take them away so that they dont die due to heavy traffic or rush on the roads.

"Let the Practise start from our own Locality, n then it shud make a difference in the Eco-System"!!!!
