Immersed in 20 Ways To Track A Tiger, it draws you into the tiger’s world to experience all its senses as the prime predator in the Indian jungle. It’s non-stop fascination and fun exploring this e-book. Tigers are extremely endangered and we would be tragically diminished should they disappear. Their legend lives on through this landmark interactive innovation.”

One of the chapters, called “20 Ways to SAVE Wild Tigers” features WCS field work on tigers and addresses how to protect the remaining 3,200 tigers remaining in the wild especially in India.

Said Ullas Karanth, WCS Director for Science in Asia, said: “Tigers are not a lost cause. Strict protection of key source populations, reductions in human demands and conflicts through fair and generous village resettlement projects, and application of best science for monitoring and managing tiger populations can bring tigers back. WCS tiger conservation models show it can be done.”
