    Meanwhile, a group led by Barun Mitra of the Liberty Institute has been pushing for captive breeding, even for India. His coalition of NGOs, Sustainable Development Network, believes that the only way to ensure the survival of the tiger is to breed it and legalise trade.

    “When trade is outlawed, only outlaws trade,” said Mitra. He cites the crocodile example: because of successful breeding, its skin is freely available and its numbers in the wild are up. Mitra is at CITES too to garner support.
