Tiger populations have shrunk over the last century. And though their numbers are increasing, there are only about 6,000 individuals globally. Their overall decline has been caused by habitat loss from deforestation and climate change, but also poaching of the animal and its prey. Filmmaker Warren Pereira graduated from Lewis & Clark College with a biology degree and later began a quest to document the species' plight in his home country of India. He would ultimately find a male tiger dubbed T-24 or Tiger 24, an animal suspected of killing multiple men and drawing the name “man-eater.” After what was widely considered compelling evidence that T-24 had killed a parks worker, the “man-eater” was ultimately captured and contained in a zoo. The film plays in Eugene’s Metro theater, with a wider release set for the fall. Pereira joins us to talk about the issues the film raises about wildlife and human activity, the national interest T-24 sparked, and the court case about the tiger that reached India’s highest court.
