Tigeropolis

• A great way to introduce 8-12 year-old children to the importance of wildlife conservation through 45 beautifully illustrated stories. • Amusing and fun, yet with an important message of conservation as a foundation. • Written by a conservation expert with decades of experience. • Tigeropolis is inspired by the author’s first sighting of a tiger in the park featured in David Attenborough's TV series 'Dynasties'. Bandhavgarh National Park is the location of the Tiger episode in this popular, current BBC television series on Sunday nights (the Tiger episode is due to air on December 9th). The author is available for interview & editorial opportunities on topics from the future of tigers in the wild to plastic pollution. He offers school workshops across the UK and is originally from Scotland, now living in London. Advance review copies are available as well as copies of the other books in the Tigeropolis series. Tigeropolis, a vast tiger reserve in the foothills of the Himalayas, is home to a family of vegetarian tigers – tiger cubs Bittu, older sister Matti, their mother Tala and Uncle Raj. For years, they’ve hidden from humans deep in the forest, adopting a modern lifestyle (they don’t hunt, they don’t roar and they live in a snug cave complete with a TV and Internet access!). Their pleasant lifestyle is interrupted when they are forced to reappear. Tigeropolis is threatened with closure - people have stopped coming - they don’t believe there are any tigers left to see. The tigers know they need to reappear to encourage visitors to the park. Visitors will generate income and help keep the park (their home) open. But the humans ‘running’ the park prefer sitting in their guard-house drinking tea and eating chocolate cake. The tigers take it upon themselves to run the park, all the while ensuring that the humans never realise who is actually ‘pulling the strings’. Caught in the Trap is the third in the series, but each book can be read as a stand-alone story.
