Aren conservationists putting the tigers welfare above human development and welfare?
Not at all. Use of tiger parts is not essential to human welfare. However, protecting wild tigers requires protection of the natural resources people need. Furthermore, tigers in the wild attract a growing number of tourists interested in nature, and bring economic opportunities for communities living in and around tiger habitat.
