CRITICS’ CHOICE
TIGERS are exciting to see at
the zoo, but fewer than 4,000
of them now exist in the wild.
Two tigers are killed weekly
by poachers, and their
vulnerable cubs are left
trying to survive alone.
For this very important
documentary, Martin
Hughes-Games joins
wardens and
scientists in India
as they conduct the country’s
biggest tiger count, visiting
50 conservation parks across
the vast country — and it’s all
soothingly narrated by Joanna
Lumley. Like fingerprints,
tiger stripes are unique, so
cameras will help to identify
each animal. If numbers
have gone down, we could
sadly see the end of these
big cats roaming free.
