India and US sign wildlife agreement
India is the newest member of the US-led Coalition Against Wildlife Trafficking (CAWT), a coalition that collaborates in the fight against illegal trade in wildlife and wildlife parts. India and the US also agreed to exchanges of park and customs officials for better implementation of the agreement. Launched in September 2005, the Coalition against Wildlife Trafficking (CAWT) focuses political and public attention on growing threats to wildlife from poaching and illegal trade. The agreement is a sequel to the increased poaching of tigers and concerted efforts to stem the tide.

Another bit of good news! It's always good to hearing about ongoing efforts in preservation.
Wouldn't it be nice to see a global cultural change in the overall respect that humans have for wildlife?
Ok, I'll climb down out of Utopia now... :)
Yes, tiger poaching has international ramifications.Only international cooperation can change the situation.
