enchanting story about an endangered species

This beautifully illustrated book takes place in a small village where signs of a tiger have been noted. The culture is accurately portrayed including the immense value of a dead tiger to the poor village. Nevertheless a small boy wishes the esteemed hunter who is called in bad luck. We then follow the hunter on his quest. He tracks the tiger, who more often misses than wins in attacking prey and are reminded that this hunter has a reputation of never missing. The hunter, indeed, does not miss, but the reader is totally surprised to find he hunts with his camera only! As the hunter leaves the village he winks to the boy, and lets him see the camera. At the end of the story is a page of information about this endangered species with things to do to help.
