The estimated number of 3,582 is an average figure for a population that likely ranges between 3,167 and 3,925. Tiger numbers are estimated based on the number of unique tigers captured on camera, plus an estimate of animals that may have not been photographed.

I don’t think some people realize how many people tigers kill every year…

Well done India
Still very low, but fantastic that they are on the up. Hope it continues
scary good news
That is propaganda and very sad news actually. Short story how this happens. Private companies goes in to self sufficient villages.
- Bribes (with gov funds)
- If fails threaten
- If fails violence and murders. Bulldozing villages. Relocation of people to desert regions with no infrastructure or farming land.
Best outcome for the young ? Servants to to tourists that fill the pockets of murderers. Government ,police and capitalists in cohort splitting the profits.

Tiger reserves as a tourism industry. Can’t have people in the reserves.
