"An unusual �Valentine Day� message was displayed by tiger enthusiasts in
the Capital who went on a brisk march from Delhi Zoo to the head quarters
of Project Tiger at Bikaner House, to spread the message of conservation.
"Children and adults held up banners for the �Love Tiger Walk��
(Organizers) pointed out that the largest cat n the world today has a
mortality rate of two per day in the world and one per day in India alone.
"�Especially as a tigress does not have another litter till her young can
support themselves, �it is so much necessary to support the ones which are
alive, as they do not breed rapidly like other species,� said a child who
participated in the march.
"A video show, an inflatable tiger blimp and presentations by eminent
conservationists were some of the features of the march, which was
supported (in part) by the WCWC."
