The book “Sariska: The Tiger Reserve Roars Again”, written by former Wildlife conservator Sunayan Sharma, gives us insider stories of how tigers got disappeared from the Sariska national park in Rajasthan. Sariska Tiger Reserve instantly became a headliner in many national newspapers as well as in international fora of wildlife conservation. Later Sunayan Sharma became President of the Sariska Tiger Foundation, which oversees the reintroduction and increase of the tiger population by arranging tigers from other national parks and thoroughly restricting poachers who were earlier responsible for disappearance of priceless tigers. The author also describes problems in Sariska related to environmental degradation, water scarcity, break in food chains, deforestation and other factors which were also responsible for disappearance of these tigers. He divides the book into three parts namely, (P.1) Past Glory, (P.2) Debacle in Sariska, and (P.3) Rebuilding Sariska. This book turns out to be a nice documentation of rebuilding the safe and secure enclosures for tigers which were on the verge of extinction. This is a collectible book for the jungle lovers, wildlife conservators, explorers visiting India’s vast wildlife sanctuaries, and those particularly interested in Sariska story of revival.
