Reflective Journal 5

I learnt that actually, there are a few ways to solve the over-poaching which is the illegal practice of trespassing on another's property to hunt without the landowner's permission problem of the Tigers and Iguanas. In India, there is actually a person named called Kailash Sankhala, had actually set up a conservations called "Tigers Trust" to solve this problem which started in late 1989 which aims to raise aware nature conservation. He succeeded in helping rescue the species from the extinction. Under the Jawahar Lal Nehru fellowship, he conducted an extensive study during a time when tiger population was dwindling at an alarming rate due to poaching and hunting which led him to launch the Project Tiger.

For the Iguanas, I learnt that there is actually a group called ‘Iguana Specialist Group’ which was formerly the West Indian Iguana Specialist Group and aims to help to create and set up effective conservations for Iguanas. Through partnerships with government agencies, conservation organizations, and research institutions, this Iguana Specialist Group seeks to help design and implement immediate and effective conservation measures for this magnificent group of lizards.

My perspectives have changed after I had done my research because I used to think that we can help by spreading the messages to the people, educate other people and also stop the actions of abusing and neglecting the Tigers and Iguanas but I didn’t know that there were actually people setting up group to help to improve this situation.

I think that we can help by joining or helping these two conservations groups to help to improve the situation. I think that we can also donate money to these two groups so that they will have a better financial situation to continue or develop their project on conserving the Tigers and Iguanas these two projects are important which involve a lot of money.
