Just by feeling that many species are replaced if few go extinct is not a good thought at all. The loss of species is ocuring mainly now because of our own faults particularly loss of habitat. We are changing their food habits. Can you replace TigerIronically, apart from inaccessibility (most islands can only be reached by boat), the big cat is

why mangroves here still survive. Dwindling tiger numbers triggered conservation efforts here in the 1960s. By then, conversion of mangrove

forests into paddy land and hunting and poaching had contributed to degradation, resulting in the disappearance of the leopard, wild water

buffalo, Javan and one-horned rhinos, swamp and hog deer and several plant species.

But the canny Royal Bengal tiger, Panthera tigris tigris, survived. That this massive 500-pound terrestrial beast learnt to swim, walk alone

with great stealth to hunt for fish, crabs, reptiles and humans, its varied diet giving it a distinct advantage over other tiger populations, continues to

amaze ecologists.
We should awaken before it is too late!!!
