Tigers are one of the most beautiful mammals in the world. They are have celebrated in art and poetry and stories. But they are also highly prised by hunters and trophy seekers. Catherine Barr has subtitled her book, A Conservation Story and she tells it vividly as a call to arms to all readers so that they feel empowered to be part of the story themselves on the grounds that working together can really make a difference. Its an important message, inspiringly told. Tara Anand’s beautiful illustrations bring the tigers and the world they live in vividly to life.

About
The Tigers' Tale: A conservation story Synopsis
From the author of the beautiful Fourteen Wolves comes another incredible true story of rewilding.
Magnificent, powerful and mysterious, the tiger is one of the world's most iconic animals. It is also one of most endangered. For hundreds of years, these exceptional beasts have been hunted, pushing them to the brink of extinction. How can we save them?
This compelling tale tells the turbulent true story of the tragic disappearance of tigers from Panna Tiger Reserve in India and, finally, their heroic return. We follow a group of tigers, each with their own individual traits, on their adventures. Together, we learn how the tiger experts introduce tigers to the reserve and track them as they explore, hunt, play, swim, mate and make the forest their home. However, all is not as it seems - and there is danger lurking in the shadows of the emerald forest.
With evocative storytelling combined with clear non-fiction information by eco-expert Catherine Barr and lush illustrations by Tara Anand, this story illuminates exactly why tiger conservation is so important.

Catherine Barr Press Reviews
'The majesty of the tiger has transcended generations and continents, inspiring people from all walks of life to protect, venerate and celebrate the big cat. This beautifully illustrated book will captivate a new generation and impart important lessons learned from the tragic local extinction of the tigers of Panna Tiger Reserve in India. While interventions since mean that tigers once again stalk the emerald forests. Catherine Barr's book reminds us all that the threat of tiger trade still lingers and there is no room for complacency.' - Debbie Banks, Tiger and Wildlife Crime Campaign Leader, Environmental Investigation Agency
'Tigers today need all the help they can get. In The Tiger's Tale, the perils of habitat loss and the illegal wildlife trade loom large, but Catherine Barr's charming story and Tara Anand's gorgeous illustrations turn the emerald forest into a place of magic and hope, where the big cats leap off every page and the future is as bright as their burning eyes.' - Mike Unwin, Non-Fiction Author behind Migration: Incredible Animal Journeys, Photographer and Illustrator
