Leech, K.
The way to save tigers is to farm tigers
2008  Full Book

The tiger has become something of a 'poster child' for conservation on a par with the polar bear and the whale in recent years. Not without reason - few animals capture the sense of the wonder and majesty of nature as the tiger does. So news that the tiger population is growing so rapidly in the Jim Corbett National Park in Uttaranchal, India, that the authorities are expanding the reserve's size would seem to be a 'good news' story. Conservationists seem happier to restrict the lives of poor people in India than find a solution that benefits both animals and humans.
