Maintaining Human Impacts on Grasslands

Simply identifying the problem with human interaction with grasslands isn't enough. It's also important to decide what can be done next to prevent the further destruction of not only grasslands, but also the Bengal Tiger population in India. Currently, there are a few protective measures in place. There are protected areas where tigers can live without feeling any negative human impacts. These places are in Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh.

Another way to improve the relationship between human and tiger is to increase the effort to protect tiger habitats, which are the grasslands. By keeping these areas just for tigers and other wildlife instead of for human use, the population can stay as it is. Problems such as deforestation should be eliminated to ensure that tigers have a place to live. This would in turn also reduce poaching, because humans would not have access to the animals. This plan is already in effect, but at the rate that it is going, the population is not being improved. Each individual person can help in his or her own way by not buying products that are made from tiger parts or skins.
In addition, poaching, shown in the image above, is illegal. So any signs of this activity should be reported immediately.

A healthy tiger population is a sign of a healthy ecosystem, due to the fact that tigers need a substantial amount of prey and resources in order to survive.
