About This Item

UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.VG/VG+.Top edge front bd very slightly scuffed and rubbed - no loss to dw/dj in situ.Owner blank bookplate.8vo,220pp includes an index.B/w line illus and colour photographs.Fore-edges slightly foxed. Far from just being a beautiful big cat,the tiger is at the apex of nature's pyramid,a balancing force on all the animals and creatures within its kingdom.More than a definitive study;it is also a personal adventure story.From his early days as a trainee forester,when encouraged by his tutor,he personally shot and killed a tiger,to his life-long attempts to make amends for that crime.For 5 years Sankhala served as head of the world famous zoo at Delhi,where his firmly held views on what zoos should be aroused first anger,then admiration.He had confrontations too with the Indian tourist establishment,and with poachers wishing to make quick money out of tiger skins.Then in 1972 he was appointed head of 'PROJECT TIGER',a world-wide attempt to save the Indian tiger from extinction.5 years later he gave up his job,the problem solved.He managed SARISKA, BHARATPUR, BANVIHAR and RANTHAMBOR Wildlife Sanctuaries and the forest divisions of RAJASTHAN until 1964, and in 1965 was appointed Director of Delhi Zoological Park which in 1969 was rated one of the first three zoos in the world.
