Strategies of Global Tiger Patrol Many tiger reserves are short staffed and ill-equipped. Global Tiger Patrol provides equipment such as troop carriers, jeeps, high-speed patrol boats, jungle equipment, binoculars and training for these men, who put their lives on the line daily. Besides, protection of tigers, habitat conservation and reclamation is another strategy of Global Tiger Patrol. It is a known fact that without its habitat, the tiger cannot survive. Thus, Global Tiger Patrol co-operates with and has contributed to several local reserve projects for reforestation, water conservation, alternative agriculture and energy technologies that save fragile habitat. GTP also supports scientific research projects and continues to work with the people living in and around the tiger's habitat to help them in protecting their heritage. Global Tiger Patrol supports the scientific research programmes that also include data collection. The conservation work of Global Tiger Patrol helps save Asia's animals ranging from mighty elephants and rhinos to ants and beetles. As the tiger is at the top of the food chain, nature can only thrive under its umbrella. If the insects and animals that pollinate trees and fertilise the ground die out, the survival of the forests and jungles will be threatened. Global Tiger Patrol is also a founding partner of 21st Century Tiger, an alliance with the Zoological Society of London, funding wild tiger protection projects and scientific research in India, Sumatra, Malaysia, Cambodia and the Russian Far East. |
