    What is ‘Project Tiger’?

    Project Tiger is a wildlife conservation movement initiated


    in India to protect the endangered tiger. The project was initiated
    in 1973 by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate
    Change of the Government of India.
    As of March 2024, there are 55 protected areas that have been
    designated as tiger reserves under the project.
    As of 2023, there were 3,682 wild tigers in India, which is almost
    75% of the world's wild tiger population.

    The Tiger Census in India is conducted by the government every four years to assess the population of tigers in the country. The last tiger census was
    conducted in 2018 and estimated the tiger population in India to be around 2,967 individuals, which was an increase from the previous census in 2014.

    The next tiger census has already been conducted in 2022, and the results are expected to be released very soon. This new estimate of the Tiger Population
    in India will help to conservation efforts. The Indian government’s goal is to increase the tiger population to at least 3,000 individuals and maintain and
    improve their habitats to ensure the long-term survival of the species.

    Among all the Endangered species, or perhaps among all Big


    Cats, Tigers are considered to be the most charismatic and the most
    popular megafauna. Being the apex predators in an ecosystem, tigers
    play a crucial role in regulating and sustaining ecological processes.
    Therefore, ensuring their conservation guarantees the prosperity of
    the forest ecosystems and the vital natural resources and ecosystem
    services these tiger habitats produce for all. However, at present times,
    the rise in poaching due to international demand for tiger body parts,
    habitat loss and degradation, human-tiger conflicts, and depletion of
    tiger prey have resulted in fragmented tiger populations across 13
    Tiger-range countries.
    The latest IUCN Assessment led by Panthera revealed that
    approximately 4,500 tigers are roaming freely in the wild, mainly due
    to the conservation efforts in the Tiger-range countries. The following
    article discusses the tiger populations worldwide and the countries
    with the highest number of wild tigers.
