In Tiger Work, an evocative and often chilling collection of essays, poems and short stories about environmental catastrophe, the Booker prize winner Ben Okri urges us to remove our collective heads from the sand and take action to reverse the effects of the climate crisis. In the poem The Broken he notes: “The facts are horrific / The evidence overwhelming / And still we carry on / As if no crisis were looming.”

When not subject to human disturbance, the tiger is mainly diurnal. [85] It does not often climb trees but cases have been recorded. [51] It is a strong swimmer and often bathes in ponds, lakes and rivers, thus keeping cool in the heat of the day. [86] Individuals can cross rivers up to 7km (4.3mi) wide and can swim up to 29km (18mi) in a day. [87] During the 1980s, a tiger was observed frequently hunting prey through deep lake water in Ranthambhore National Park. [85] Major threats to the tiger include habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation and poaching for fur and body parts, which have simultaneously greatly reduced tiger populations in the wild. [1] In India, only 11% of the historical tiger habitat remains due to habitat fragmentation. [136] Demand for tiger parts for use in traditional Chinese medicine has also been cited as a major threat to tiger populations. [137] [138] [139] Some estimates suggest that there are fewer than 2,500 mature breeding individuals, with no subpopulation containing more than 250 mature breeding individuals. [1] Piper, P.

How We Can Help

In 1991 Okri was awarded the Booker Prize for Fiction for his novel The Famished Road (1991). Set in a Nigerian village, this is the first in a trilogy of novels which tell the story of Azaro, a spirit child. Azaro's narrative is continued in Songs of Enchantment (1993) and Infinite Riches (1998). Other recent fiction includes Astonishing the Gods (1995) and Dangerous Love (1996), which was awarded the Premio Palmi (Italy) in 2000. There followed In Arcadia (2002) and Starbook (2007). Some people claim that using tiger balm can help eliminate stretch marks. It can help blood flow and bring a cooling effect. But this needs to be further confirmed by research. Side Effects of Tiger Balm Following Linnaeus's first descriptions of the species, several tiger specimens were described and proposed as subspecies. [12] The validity of several tiger subspecies was questioned in 1999. Most putative subspecies described in the 19th and 20th centuries were distinguished on basis of fur length and colouration, striping patterns and body size, hence characteristics that vary widely within populations. Morphologically, tigers from different regions vary little, and gene flow between populations in those regions is considered to have been possible during the Pleistocene. Therefore, it was proposed to recognize only two tiger subspecies as valid, namely P. t. tigris in mainland Asia, and P. t. sondaica in the Greater Sunda Islands. [13] McDougal, Charles (1977).

In the Ille Cave on the island of Palawan, two articulated phalanx bones were found amidst an assemblage of other animal bones and stone tools. They were smaller than mainland tiger fossils, possibly due to insular dwarfism. [41] It has been speculated that the tiger parts were either imported from elsewhere, or that the tiger colonised Palawan from Borneo before the Holocene. [42] [43] Fossil remains of tigers were also excavated in Sri Lanka, China, Japan and Sarawak dating to the Late Pliocene, Pleistocene and Early Holocene. [38] [39] Adhikarimayum, A. S. & Gopi, G. V.
