Here is the answer for your "How to save tigers?'' 

Stop chatting, do something

A campaign to save the tiger has caught the imagination of people on networking sites, including Orkut, Facebook, Twitter. Several lakh people are following the issue. However, conservationists want them to act rather than simply make noises online.

All supports the campaign but doesn’t know what else they can do.

All say – “There is no information, no website where I can know more. What can i do to help the tiger?.”  Some say, “They can involve themselves in any reliable organisation working for conversation in whatever capacity they can. Doctors, politicians, religious leaders, teachers, housewives, business men.... whatever you are, you can play important roles in conservation.”

 This is what you can do

·       Graphic designers can make posters and pamphlets to educate other people and field operatives.

·       Website developers can make websites for organisations involved in conservation.

·       Mechanical and electrical engineers can help the Forest Department make better use of solar energy at the ground level. For example: To re-charge wireless sets.

·       Doctors can treat people living in and around protected areas so that they can protect the forests better.

·       Agricultural scientists can teach better farming techniques to people dwelling near forests so that crops can be less palatable to crop-raiding wildlife. This will reduce human-wildlife conflicts.

·       Public Relations for the tiger: people with contacts in governments and legislatures can share their contacts with conversations.
