INDIA: LAND OF TIGERS
Usually referred to as the "Land of Tigers", India is the place that hosts more wild tigers than any other country, suggesting both environmental wealth and protectiveness. The majestic predator predominantly dwells in the various terrains of the country, right from the Sundarbans in the east to the Ranthambore in the west. National parks like Bandhavgarh and Kanha are famous for tigers; such places act as protective locations for them. Tiger conservationism is also present in India through its Project Tiger, initiated in 1973 to protect tiger environments and breed more tigers. It is rather interesting to mention that tigers are an essential element of Indian folklore and mythological conception, making them the key participants of the Indian story. People from across the globe visit India to glimpse these cats in their natural environment. India is very particular about wildlife conservation, and this is evident in the tiger, a symbol of strength and grace.
