Long road ahead



The tiger Bhola pads along a path in Kanha National Park. He is one of the 1300 - 1500 Royal Bengal Tigers left in India, according to the Wildlife Institute of India's 2007 census. That's less than half the number previously estimated.

Bhola means "innocent." And that's what the tiger is, an innocent victim of human greed and error. Only we humans can save him - if we really, sincerely care enough. This is our last chance.
