Nokia has announced a partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) India for the conservation of tigers in the country.

Enunciating on the partnership, heads of both organizations expressed concern over the declining tiger population in the country, and elaborated on the role the partnership could play in curbing this decline.

The tiger conservation project will address issues such as alternative livelihood for local communities, environmental awareness, and communication. It will also address critical issues that face the Southwestern Ghats today, including the loss of bio-diversity and the conflict between human beings and wildlife. Nokia and the World Wildlife Fund India will work towards providing education and alternative livelihood programs to villages around tiger reserves and National Protected Areas such as Ranthambore in Rajasthan.

Organizations like the Indian Tiger Welfare Society (ITWS), Tiger Trust India, India Tiger Trust, and the NDTV group are already doing their bit to save the tiger. The Nokia-WWF India endeavor lends a helping hand to these efforts.

The tiger is our national pride, and before we wake up one fine day to a tiger-less world, let's do something to save this royal, majestic creature. If you care and want to be part of this drive, click here.
