Reflective Summary

After doing all these five journals on Tigers and Iguanas Conservation, I learnt that Tigers in India contains 60% of the world population as it was still legal for them to hunt tiger to export skins in the 1970s. It has been starting to decrease as there is huge amount of agriculture, industrialization which will affect the natural habitats, forests and natural grasslands, deforestation and some of the natural disasters such as volcanoes eruption.

For the Iguanas, I learnt all iguanas have strong jaws, long tails and strong legs with long, sharp claws, and the iguana family includes about 30 different species. They are now decreasing because their habitats are being destroyed for housing or farming, natural disasters such as hurricanes and being eaten by their predators such as snakes and many more.

My perspectives have changed during the course of my research because I used to think that they have been decreasing as they were being eaten up and deforestation but I never knew that there were so many reasons to cause them to decrease. I also never knew that the consequences would be that serious. I think that we should try and help to prevent these animals from decreasing as there won’t be any more chances for us to see these animals anymore if it really extinct.
There are actually two group called ‘Tiger Trust’ and ‘Iguana Specialist Group’ which aim to carry out projects to conserve Tigers and Iguanas. I think that I can help by joining or helping these organizations.

To prevent the Tigers and Iguanas from decreasing, we as human-beings can help by avoiding the actions of deforestation and many other more to minimize the damage deal to the forest.
