It's a grand success story for India as thanks to the extraordinary success of saving tigers from extinction, they now make up 70% of the world's tiger population. The Center informed the Supreme Court on Friday that the population of big cats is growing by 6% annually, offsetting natural losses.
India doubled its tiger population in 2018, four years ahead of plan, according to the St. Petersburg Declaration on the protection of tigers, TOI reported.
The top Tiger States of India (by Tiger population) are Madhya Pradesh (526); Karnataka (524); Uttrakhand (442). The number of tiger reserves has increased to 53, totaling about 76,000 square kilometers. In UP, a brand-new tiger reserve called Ranipur Tiger Reserve has been established.
The country is home to 2967 tigers. According to a statement, the nation's natural ecosystem serves as the basis for scientific management of the species, and artificial breeding procedures are not encouraged there.
The effectiveness of the process is clearly shown by the results of the quadrennial all-tiger estimations conducted in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018.
Tigers are classified as being in the 'Endangered' category on the IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species. In Asia, tigers can be found in 12 regional tiger conservation landscapes (TCLs). Six of these are global priority TCLs for long-term tiger conservation significance, and together they account for more than 70% of the global genetic diversity of the tiger species.
