TOFT

Travel Operators for Tigers.
This is a campaign set up by a number of concerned Indian focused Travel Operators in the UK who believe there is a need for change in the way that nature and wildlife tourism is developing in India. Our desire is that all those involved in ’Tiger tourism’, including tour operators, accommodation providers, local services, park management and of course visitors will join together to halt the demise of the Tiger.

Why the Campaign? - India’s Tiger Crisis

India has some of the most staggering and beautiful wilderness and wildlife in the world. Housing one of the richest diversities of life forms on earth, the Indian peninsula is a veritable Eden. Today it is under siege and yet, remarkably, it survives in all its diverse forms, from the high mountains of the Himalayas to the rich tropical forests of the Western Ghats; from the deserts of Thar to the cloudforests and swamps of Eastern India and the Sal and teak forests of Madhya Pradesh.

Experience and research shows that responsible wildlife and nature tourism can provide an invaluable platform to support and sustain parks, wildlife conservancies, buffer zones and local communities. It can also play an important role in poverty eradication.
