Tread lightly on the earth - the message from one of the prominent wildlife documentary cameramen in the World who has caused controversy with his way of ensuring that the environment remains at the forefront of world thinking and opinion over the coming decades.
Population growth throughout the World has increased pressure on the environment as the human race expands in numbers, and individual size.
Shoes and sandals were first known many centuries ago when Iceman who were small in modern day terms as the human has become taller, heavier and healthier to the extent that mens shoes size 13 has become common place.
The light tread our cameraman seeks can still be made in the 21st Century if care is taken to ensure environmentally friendly decisions are proposed and agreed upon in the international forums looking at our flora, and fauna, seas and atmosphere.
Nowhere is there more urgency than in Asia where the tiger population has dwindled to a fraction of that of a century ago.
Pressure on land for cultivation has meant that the forest corridors of India are disappearing causing the tiger offspring major problems in finding and establishing individual territories once forced out of their birth places by the dominant male.
The wonderful protected areas of Madhya Pradesh, notably Kanha and Bandhavgarh, remain jewels in India where the magnificent Bengal Tiger is regularly seen by the tourist who has often travelled halfway around the World to see this magnificent animal.
Just last week, news was released that two sets of 4 cubs each had been born in Panna National Park in this State in the centre of India. That is a trend which everyone hopes will continue in the months and years to come.
