Gaurav Chakrabarty on why saving tigers means saving ourselves
On International Tiger Day (July 29), actor and wildlife advocate Gaurav Chakrabarty shares why tiger conservation is more than a campaign — it's a long-term commitment to the planet. Why saving tigers matters 'Tigers aren't just majestic animals — they're indicators of a healthy ecosystem,' Gaurav explains. 'When you protect the tiger, you protect the forests, the rivers, the countless species that depend on them. And in turn, you protect yourself.' He adds, 'Tigers are a part of our mythology, our culture, and our stories. Their survival is tied to our ecological identity. The tiger population in India reflects how well we're safeguarding our environment.' The role of cinema in wildlife awareness A firm believer in the power of storytelling, Gaurav highlights how films and theatre can shape public consciousness. 'People know about deforestation and extinction, but they don't always feel it. That's where cinema steps in. Storytelling builds emotional bridges — it makes the wilderness personal. If an audience roots for a tiger's survival on screen, that empathy can translate into real-world action.' A childhood memory and a future to protect One of Gaurav's most vivid childhood memories is spotting Charger , the legendary tiger of Bandhavgarh, with his father. 'That moment was magical. It's stayed with me.' Now, as a father himself, conservation feels even more urgent. 'My son Dheer is fascinated by wildlife. He says 'hathi' with so much wonder when watching documentaries. That awe — that instinctive connection to nature — is something I want to protect.' He concludes, 'If you save the tiger, you're saving the world you live in. I want my son to grow up in a world where forests thrive and wild animals still roam free.' Quote: 'If you save the tiger, you save the world you're living in.'
