The tiger, one of the most charismatic creatures on Earth, faces extinction. David Attenborough narrates a heart-breaking documentary that examines the latest round in the battle to save the tiger. The story starts in the 1960s, when it was legal to shoot a tiger and drape its skin over the sofa, following through to the present day, when skins of freshly killed tigers are being illegally traded in huge numbers from India to Tibet and China. It is the story of three champions of conservation - an undercover investigator Belinda Wright, a tireless political campaigner Valmik Thapar, and a whistle-blowing scientist Raghu Chundawat. Astonishingly, their dogged pursuit of the truth and of the interests of the tiger have brought them into stark conflict with Project Tiger, the very government body set up to ensure the big cats' continued existence in 1973.
