Good Education Good education drives good practices Tiger reserves have more than just Tigers Africa has the Big 5: India has the Magnificent 7 Ask yourself….. Do we see tourists briefed before entering the park? Learning about local cultures, environment & communities? Or Do we see tourists in a race to see the tiger & if they dont they go back disappointed & the guides get no tips? Is the current culture all about taking and not giving back?
