For a Few Rupees is a powerful short film that exposes the fragile line between survival, poverty, and wildlife crime in the forests of Rajasthan. Set against the backdrop of tiger landscapes, the film reflects on how economic vulnerability can push local communities toward illegal activities that threaten wildlife, often for shockingly small sums of money.

Made in 2007, the film captures the realities on the ground at a time when poaching pressures were intense and conservation efforts were evolving rapidly. It underlines a critical conservation truth: protecting wildlife is inseparable from addressing the social and economic conditions of people living alongside forests.

Through stark visuals and an unfiltered narrative, For a Few Rupees reinforces Tiger Watch’s long-standing belief that lasting conservation solutions must combine law enforcement with community engagement, alternative livelihoods, and education.
