What if we just left Tigers become extinct?

When we visit Bandhavgarh National Reserve to enjoy Bandhavgarh Tiger Safari, our trip gets completed only when we could have successfully captured dozens of snaps of tigers doing their natural activities. We often feel disappointed when we couldn’t find a tiger in the entire trip. Did you think what would happen if all tigers are disappeared from our global ecosystem? Read on to know more about the impact on our planet without these ROYAL BIG CATS.

Ecosystem Imbalance

If an element is removed from a fragile ecosystem, it will leave a long-lasting negative effect on our biological system. This impact may be on natural habitats, local communities and other species around the tiger. Since tiger lives at the topper level of food chain, it regulates the population of wild pig, deer, wild gaur and antelope. When tiger is out, their population will grow up and up and there is no one to control them. This excessive population will devastate the whole vegetation in the forests and insects and small animals wouldn’t be capable to survive. If these insects will enter into the agricultural lands, our food source will be lost. If the plants cannot grow because of this excessive population of wild herbivorous, the soil in the jungles will become infertile and these forests will fade away on which everything depends today.

Other negative effects on the absence of tigers

1.   Human Welfare and Ecosystem: We are living because fresh air, clean water and natural food system and forest resources are in the eco-system on which tigers also depend. These ecological resources will be at huge risk with the absence of tigers.

2.   Lack of Ecotourism Employment opportunities: Most NGO’s and government-owned organizations and programs are surviving in the market because tigers are alive. If tigers are disappeared, all the opportunities for local communities will get disappeared.

3.   Co-extinction of prey species: If a major species is gone from food chain, it will tend to knock-on impact on other species. Extinction of leading predator means extinction of inner species which means threatening of other species in food chain.

4.   Another species of tigers will be killed: If the Royal Bengal Tigers are lost in this century, poachers will start killing other species of tigers and eventually all tigers will be exploited.

5.   Climatic Impacts: If tigers become extinct, the forests, which are now protected by necessary habitat, would come to an end with extensive growth of real estate development, agriculture and illegal logging. As a result, 15% of greenhouse gases and large amount of CO2 will be emitted in the ecosystem due to deforestation which leads to negative climatic impacts.

Species Lives because Tigers Live

The species which will be disappeared eventually if tigers gone are sloth bear, brown bear, sun bear, elephant, Dhole, clouded leopard, lion-tailed macaque, amur leopard, musk deer, orangutan, saola and rhino.

Bottom Line

We shall have no reason to go for tiger safari and enjoy the accommodations in Bandhavgarh resorts if this endangered cutest species will not exist.
