In 1973, when the tiger appeared to be facing extinction, the World Wide Fund for Nature

and (96)... Indian Government agreed to set (97)... "Operation Tiger" - a campaign

(98)...save this threatened creature. They started by creating nine special parks (99)... that

tigers could live in safety. The first was at Ranthambhore, a region (100)... was quickly

turning into a desert (101)... too much of the grass was being eaten by the local people's

cattle. At the time there (102) ... just fourteen tigers left there. The government had to

clear twelve small villages, which meant moving nearly 1,000 people and 10,000 cattle so the

land (103)... . be handed back to nature.

Today, Ranthambhore is a very different place, with grass tall (104)... for tigers to hide

in, and there are now at I (105)... forty of them (106)... the park, wandering freely about.

Other animals have also benefited. For example, there are many (107)... deer and monkeys

than before. The people (108)...were moved are now living in better conditions. They live in

new villages away (109) ... the tiger park, with schools, temples and fresh water supplies.

There are now sixteen such tiger parks in India and the animal's future looks (110)... little safer.
