There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
I think to truly come to a conclusion would take years and many individuals. We would have to see a data bank that stemmed generations and individual results would need to be shown against the results the entire group.
I have long said that we don't need radio collaring to save tigers.
We know enough as it is.. Protect their forest, protect their corridors, stop hunting them and keep man/animal conflict to a minimum. But that being said, I certainly think that collaring them is serving the greater good, I think when they have a collar on them it is a deterrent for poachers or killers of their species. It's not fool proof, that's for sure but I think as of now, the impact it has on the species as a whole is something worth explorer. As long as I don't see a large increase in death or sickness from the collaring, I think its worth it to give them a try.
