A day in the life of a tiger -- The real King of the Jungle -- Defamed, exiled, undeterred -- The lonesome tiger -- Auditing the tiger business -- Making room for tigers -- When everybody loves the tiger -- How the tiger can regain its stripes.
For over five decades, K. Ullas Karanth has been engaged in the struggle to bring wild tigers back from the brink in India, their last remaining wild stronghold. He tells the story of the tiger itself--its incredible biology, its critical role in shaping natural ecosystems of Asia, and the unique place it holds in our collective imagination. 'Among Tigers' is the story of how we wound up with fewer than 5,000 wild tigers, and how, with focused efforts, we can grow that population ten times or more in a few decades. In doing so, we would bring not only the world's largest and most beloved feline back from the brink, but also save countless other species that share the tigers habitats from the freezing forests of Siberia to the tropics of India. Karanth shares the adventurous real-life story of his quest to save a species and, along the way, the hopeful realization that tiger conservation is a battle that can be won.
