John Varty & Tiger Canyon

"Sadly, it will need a lot of money, permission of the government and the acceptation of the local people (this last one is practically impossible, check how people reacted with the re-introduction of the already native wolves in Yellowstone)."

People on this forum and elsewhere don't place enough importance on this- the human factor.

Whether it's the wolves of Yellowstone or tigers of Ranthambhore, humans living with the wild animals play the biggest role in conserving them. But every discussion I see here does not take the human factor into consideration. It's like people are simply not willing to accept that we don't live in an ideal world. Whether posters here like it or not, people's needs are always going to trump everything else, wildlife included.

And introducing tigers and other dangerous animals to other continents is simply never going to happen. The same people in the west, who clamor for the tiger, wouldn't want to live alongside them. It's one thing to support them, and another thing to have them in your backyard.

On topic, John Varty's zoo is never going to help tiger conservation. Reply
