Rising Tiger Population of India – A positive result of Wildlife Conservation

Since tourists especially visit national parks and wildlife sanctuaries to explore the amazing big cat species of black strips hunting alone, Royal Bengal Tigers are not just tourist attraction in Indian fauna. There is a fear in these endangered yet magnificent species because of which they carry their charisma with themselves. Humans are either forcefully or intentionally involved in illegal activities such as poaching of wild animals. These activities are the major reasons of dropping the population of tigers since past one decade. Hence, cautious Government of India had introduced Project Tiger in various national parks to stop this reducing figure and for taking measures to mount them.

What’s the good news from Project Tiger?

Since 2011 census, the efforts of conservatory measures are showing positive results. According to per-year counting for every four years across India, 225 more tigers have been counted in last census, since 2007. Today, it’s now 1706 rather than just 1411. 70 tigers from Sunderban were also counted in the year 2007. In this way, National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) had been given a proposal to count tigers every year.

Contribution of Protected Areas

The Pas (Protected Areas) such as wildlife sanctuaries, national parks and tiger reserves are playing a vital role in conservation of tiger population in India. Several schemes and conservation measures such as Project Tiger are employed properly to protect these habitats. In the Protected Areas of Project Tiger, these national parks are included in Madhya Pradesh –

1.   Kanha National Park: The state of Madhya Pradesh has given the title of “The tiger state of India” for a specific reason. Being the home of nine national parks and around 27 wildlife sanctuaries and tiger reserves, Project Tiger is running successfully with an intention to protect tigers. Today Kanha National Park is contributing Project Tiger by attracting thousands of tourists and increasing revenues in Tourism Industry.

2.   Bandhavgarh National Park: Wildlife lovers don’t like anything of their safari in Bandhavgarh when they couldn’t spot any tiger over there. There are some general awareness programs commencing to spread awareness of importance of tigers as how tigers play a great role to save the future of mankind on earth. Hence, Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve is enjoying these benefits with having several resorts at Bandhavgarh. However, there are many areas which are conserved such as Ranthambhore, Jim Corbett NP, Kaziranga, Pench, Periyar, Bandipur, Sariska and etc. Being the PA’s, they are enjoying several benefits of these conservation programs. Various NGOs as well as government organizations are supporting these programs.

Here’s which are supported by whom…..
