Corbett National Park

India hosts a majority of the world’s tiger population -- about 1,700 tigers, according to the May 2011 census. But a combination of threats is holding this meagre number to ransom, and poaching and trade in wildlife parts is just one of them. Shrinking habitat, conflicts with humans, growing tourist interference… the tiger has a lot to contend with. Policy intervention, protective legislations and international pressure have not made much of a difference, and if action is not taken effectively, the tiger will dwindle towards extinction.

After announcing its media fellowship on this subject (/node/3567), Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) now invites journalists to a two-day Media Briefing Workshop to participate in discussions on the issue.

Participation procedure

• Participation at the Workshop is open to active journalists from India.

• There is no participation / registration fee. CSE offers to support the travel and accommodation of some of the selected participants.

• The Media Fellows who will be selected for the tiger fellowships will get automatic access to this workshop.

• For the rest, the number of sponsored seats is limited. Interested journalists, therefore, should apply immediately through e-mail or fax as per the format provided below.

• Those who have applied, please do not reapply
