Year of the Tiger by Roland Watson.
Tigers are extremely endangered.
By the time the next Year of the Tiger rolls around, in 2010, it may well be too late. The largest parks, though, while preserving extensive and beautiful habitats, often offer a somewhat degraded observation experience. This is because these parks attract loads of visitors. In some parks, such as Kanha National Park in the Madhya Pradesh state of India, tigers are tracked down and directions radioed to Park headquarters. You then take a jeep to the site and board an elephant for the last few hundred meters.
