Cat Compromise

'Sea Lions'!

(an old cartoon that i had forgotten to post earlier). as we all gear up to save our National animal from exticntion, we must remember not to ignore the second Indian big cat, the Asiatic lion.Gir National park, Gujarat, is the only place in the world where the Asiatic Lion, Panthera leo persica, is found. once numerous, there numbers had gone down to just 13, thanks to hunting by the royal families in the 18th and the 19th centuries. today, the species is safe from the royal guns but it faces grave peril from inbreeding, poaching, habitat loss and conflicts with humans. although a lot has been talked about the relocation of a part of the 350+ population of Gir to Kuno wildlife sanctuary, Madhya Pradesh, no concrete steps have been taken yet. the Asiatic Lion still remains torn between conservation efforts and political conficts.

Stripes vs Stripes

Melting, melting...melted!

on the recent fiasco about the IPCC's reports of the 'deadline' for the disappearance on Himalayan glaciers. im not taking sides, but just trying to assert that we should stop wasting time fighting, and unite our efforts to bring down global warming.

Dreadful Dragons...

the Chinese. they kill wild animals as if they were poultry! it's high time we wildlifers unite and raise our voices against China's tyranny.

Traditional Chinese Torture!

Ban TCM's (Traditional Chinese Medicines), save tigers.
(for those who are unaware- traditional chinese medicines contain tiger parts such as bones, teeth and reproductive organs, for which our tigers are poached)
