In 1973, when the tiger appeared to be facing extinction, the World Wide Fund for nature and the Indian Government agreed to set up “Operation Tiger” – a campaign to save this threatened creature. They started by creating nine special parks so that tigers could live in safety. The first was at Ramthambhore , a region much was quickly turning into a desert as too much of the grass was being eaten by the local people’s cattle. At the time there were just fourteen tigers left there. The government had to clear twelve small villages, which means moving nearly 1,000 people and 10,000 cattle so the land could be handed back to nature.Today, Ramthambhore is a very different place, with grass tall enough for tigers to hide in, and There are now at least forty of them in the park, wandering freely about. Other animals have also benefited. For example, there are many more deer and monkeys than before. The people who were moved are now living in better conditions. They live in new villages away from the tiger park, with schools, temples and fresh water supplies. There are now sixteen such tiger parks in India and the animals’ future looks a little safer.
