43 percent increase in seven years
Kochi: The number of endangered tigers in the world has increased to 5574. The growth is 43 percent in seven years. The report of the Global Tiger Forum also shares the concern that if 13 years ago tigers were seen in 13 countries in the world, now they have reduced to 10.
The report points out that 66 percent of the tigers in the forest are in India. Last month, the figures of the National Tiger Conservation Authority came out that there are 3682 tigers in India.
According to the report, only India and Nepal have been able to double the number of tigers. In 2010, there were 1636 tigers in India and 121 tigers in Nepal. According to the latest estimates, the number of tigers in India is 3682 and in Nepal 355.
According to the report, out of 13 countries where tigers were left, tigers have disappeared in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. In 2010, there were 50 tigers in Cambodia. They have been destroyed due to hunting and deforestation. In an interview granted to ‘Mathrubhumi’, Union Forest Minister Bhupender Singh Yadav had earlier stated that an MoU has been signed and preparations are being made to supply tigers from India to Cambodia.
