We are responsible for the plight of the Indian tiger (Inside pages, “‘India can’t handle more big cats’,” January 29). Unbridled human activities are leaving no space for the great cat. The solutions lie in identifying and creating more tiger reserves with the help of the India State of Forest Report. India should also take a leaf out of the book of Australia which has its Green Army of Australia to oversee environmental issues. There must be more aggressive reforestation so that there are more habitats for the tiger. Finally, we must sensitise young Indians on the importance of the tiger as a keystone species in the Indian environment.
