Tigers on the verge of extinction

( This warning was issued by CREW and boldly published by The Hindu in 1999--much before Sariska. ) A report by Crusade for Revival of Environment and Wildlife, (CREW) on the Tiger crisis in Madhya Pradesh warns that the State is perhaps the last hope for the survival of tiger species in India and leaves a stern message that "if the slide down is not arrested immediately, the magnificent tiger could soon be on the verge of extinction."The report crisis titled "The Vanishing Stripes" was released to the press here today.CREW is a non-Government organization(NGO) set up two years ago.
