About freakkin time somebody did something. Today , the World Wide Fund for Nature and Nokia India have entered a joint venture to help conserve Tigers in India I’m very much for the conservation of our wildlife in India. Our population is exploding all over the place with less and less space available for wildlife. Then there’s poaching and forest fires.
Mr. D. Shivakumar, Vice President and Managing Director, Nokia India, said, “The tiger population in India has seen an alarming decrease due to shrinking forest cover, and increased poaching. We have joined hands to spread awareness about this important cause.”
I’ve read that they expect the Tiger population in India to be completely extinct in a couple of years. At the way things are going, it doesnt suprise me. What it does do however ,is make me incredibly sad about the ordeal. Luckily , in comes Nokia and the WWF to the rescue :
Finnish-based mobile telephone giant Nokia has joined hands with the wildlife conservation organization, World Wide Fund for Nature, (WWF) to help conserve tigers in India.
Under this initiative, Nokia and WWF-India, will work jointly towards providing education for sustainable growth, increasing knowledge on tiger conservation in the villages surrounding tiger reserves.
Kudos to Nokia for taking this initiative. They have earned a lot of respect in my eyes lately.
