Hello #steemit team,

This is @alfazmalek from #India,

As soon as you take the name of the forest, first a picture of a tiger comes to my mind. It has been heard since childhood that tiger is our national animal, but nowadays it has become a matter of great luck. A friend of mine told me that there were many tigers in Madhya Pradesh, now there are barely some left in the same areas.

Don't know why, but this makes the heart alittle heavy. Now talk about why this is happening, so we know the real reason. The forests are ending, the hunting is not stopping, and the space for the tiger is falling short. I had read somewhere that the tiger likes to be alone, he needs a very big place. But humans have spread everywhere. Sometimes it seems that man ruined everything for his own benefit. Cut the forests, dried the rivers and now animals like tiger are only seen in books.

The Government of India has enacted several laws, such as the Wildlife Protection Act 1972, and Project Tiger. But does just make laws work? The real question is whether we, the general public, are really serious about it? I myself went to Sundarban. The mind was happy to see the peace and greenery there. Once a boat person told that sometimes tigers come to the shore. I was very excited, but could not see. Many times people think what difference does a tiger leave. But in fact, if the tigers do not survive, the entire ecosystem will deteriorate. He is the king of the forest, and without the king the forest seems incomplete.

Okay, now talk about some important things which are tigers, the government has placed them in the protected category. Tiger reserves like Kanha, Ranthambore, Sundarban, Corbett have been created. At some places, monitoring is also done with CCTV and trekking collar. But still, the hunters take their tricks. I recently saw a photo that showed the body of a tiger : the hunter killed him. I got very angry after seeing. Think, a creature who was just living his life, was killed only for money. If we really want to save them, then we should not depend only on the government. We also have to take some responsibility. For example, stopping unnecessarily entering the forests, spreading awareness, and reporting whenever you see something like this.

Through this post, I want to say that Protected Animals, such as our tiger, is not just the beauty of the forest. These are our identity. If you do not save them today, then tomorrow we will have nothing left except regret. I am participating in this competition, and also invite my three friends - @miftahulrizky, @sergeyk, and @yonaikerurso to participate in it too.
