Telugu super news,Hyderabad, August 1st, 2023: Over 500 school students participated in an awareness event on tiger conservation on the occasion of ‘International Tiger Day’ at Hyderabad’s KBR National Park on Monday. The event sponsored, by the Telangana Forest Department and renowned injectables manufacturer Gland Pharma, was organised in association with Hyderabad Tiger Conservation Society (HyTiCoS) and WCS India. Celebrated every year since 2010, ‘International Tiger Day’ is celebrated around the world on July 29, to bolster public awareness and commitment towards tiger conservation.

The students, who had assembled from around 15 schools, participated in various interesting activities like camera-trap selfies, poster presentations, conservation-based games (Bingo, Housie), Occupancy Game, Snakes & Ladders (based on the tiger and the threats it faces), etc. They were also made aware of the various initiatives taken up by Telangana’s Kawal and Amrabad Tiger Reserves – which together host about 30 tigers – to mitigate challenges posed by loss of prey base, shrinking habitat, and pressure from developmental projects. Various conservation efforts taken by Gland Pharma and HyTiCoS including afforestation, bio-fencing, restoration of land, etc., were also explained to the students.

Speaking about the event, Capt K Raghuraman (Retd), Managing Trustee of Gland Pharma’s CSR Foundation, said, “For optimum success of tiger conservation projects, it is crucial to bring on board the communities living near Tiger Reserves and protected forests. Minimising the impact of man-animal conflict, making the communities important stakeholders, and spreading awareness about conservation in young minds through such events will greatly help the cause of wildlife conservation.”

Hyderabad-based Gland Pharma is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of injectables, with a global footprint across 60 countries, including the US, Europe, Canada, Australia, India and other markets.

Telugu super news.com,Hyderabad, July29th,2022:One of the world’s apex predators, tigers are the planet’s most awe-inspiring and iconic animals. With the distinct striped look and beautifully marked face, this magnificent creature is sadly falling prey to the illegal practice of poaching. This July 29, as the world observes International Tiger Day creating awareness about tiger conservation, Sony BBC Earth celebrates this day in its own special way.

The channel takes its viewers on an adventure ride exposing them to eye-opening realities and spreading awareness about the wild with their shows Tiger Spy In the Jungle and Tigers-Hunting The Traffickers.Deep within the Indian jungle, India’s most charismatic big cat is helping us discover the hidden wildlife that shares the tiger’s realm. The show, Tiger Spy in the Jungle takes you through the life journey of a tiger – from playful cubs to learning adolescents and finally to young hunting adults.

It also provides a unique insight into how the relationship of tigers alters with other animals in the wild as they mature, including sloth bears-a rarely filmed bear with a distinct personality – and leopards, tigers’ main rival. That’s not all! The show also takes viewers through a plethora of challenges and problems affecting forest life specifically tigers across the country.

While viewers get to experience a profound understanding of the dense woods, they will also get to witness how humans exploit the big cats for business gains. The show Tigers: Hunting the Traffickers examines how the illegal tiger trade endangers one of nature’s most beautiful creatures and exposes the shocking truth about illegal tiger farms. Watch humans hinder the cat’s long-term survival in the wild by killing, buying, and selling tigers, and encroaching on their last remaining swaths of habitat.
