Tiger Population
A new census of India’s wild tiger population shows the number of the big cats has increased by more than 30 percent over the past four years thanks to conservation efforts.
By using a network of 26,000 remote motion-sensor cameras across known tiger habitats, wildlife experts determined there are now 2,967 tigers in the wild, compared to 2,226 in 2015. Neighboring Bangladesh also saw its big cat population jump from 106 to 114 over the period.
It’s estimated that more than 100,000 tigers roamed the South Asia region in 1900.
