Today I spent the whole day at the Ranthambore National Park, one of the finest places to view animals. I attended several lectures about the parks history and “Project Tiger” and took a safari of the national park. In the park history lecture I learned that the national park was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1957, and in 1974 it gained the protection of "Project Tiger". The park received its status of a National Park in 1981.
During my safari I noticed that there are many bodies of water in the park so that the animals always have enough to drink. There are many ruins all over the national park, which give it a unique, wonderful and mixed flavor of nature, history and wildlife. The tigers were amazing. I was able to see them hunt in full view. But, personally my favorite animal was the peacock. The way it sprawled out its feathers were as though it was painting the sky. Luckily I brought my camera so I could take tons of pictures.

“Project Tiger” is the effort to conserve tigers in India. Project Tiger has brought the tiger back from the brink of extinction. The population of tigers in the country has increased significantly to about 4000, from less than 2000 at the time of launch of the project. After seeing the tigers and hearing about their recovery from extinction, I thought that we need to do something about our wildlife. I hopped onto a train for my final day in India.
