Project Tiger is a tiger conservation programme launched in April 1973 by the Government of India during Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's tenure.
On the eve of International Tiger Day, India has released the Tiger Census in India. It’s proud to India that 7 out of 10 tigers in the world are roaring and roaming across the Indian forests. India is succeeding in keeping its tigers safe in this project.
When other
nations failed to conserve the tigers, India proved it with Tiger Project.
India seems to be beacon of hope in preserving the wild cat family to others.
India’s Tiger census of 2018 was entered the Guinness book of world records. It
was the largest ever camera trap wild life survey conducted anywhere in the
world. It says that India is turn to be home for 3000 tigers which is 30%
increase in tiger population in just 4 years.
India can’t
preserve the Royal Bengal Tiger species without Project Tiger. India has 1800
tigers when Project Tiger was launched in 1973 with just 9 tiger reserves. The number fell down to 1400 tigers in 2006
and 1700 in 2011. This changed India’s approach to preserve India’s national
animal. Now India has 50 tiger reserves. It shows that India’s efforts of
preserving the tigers are paying off. India spends 50 million dollars in the
project in 2019 which includes relocating villages with protected areas. It
also built the world’s largest animal underpass to let tiger safely pass in a
highway.
