This is encouraging news. The wild life and forests have necessary protection at least in Nepal, the Himalayan state.

It is really good news kalyani ..hope to see many such good news as tiger population is already decreased a lot..I think white tigers also should need protection..

@ Rajani

ha ha may be no more..china on hearing this will send its hunters soon

I think the white tigers are some 4 in India which is really a bad thing..I have see one at our ZOO..after that may be in orissa Zoo..they are also found in india which is an assert and proud thing ..but its very sad to note the count...

What is your opinion..sajeetharan :(

But actually not, when india has total of 1011 tigers, nepal contributing more than 10%. so it is actually a good news, i just hope to hear such good news when tiger census in india concludes later this year

While Nepal is doing a lot to increase the tigers's population in the wild, in our own country it is a rather shameful situation!!

In the recent news, it has been ascertained that the insurgents spread across various six states are responsible for deaths of many tigers.

In an assessment made by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), it is estimated that there are barely 1,411 tigers left in the country. This year between January and March alone, 18 tigers have died as, against 85 who lost their lives last year. The NTCA made this assessment after studying tiger density and habitats of 39 tiger reserves across the country.

"We've got evidence based on tiger estimation data which shows that in Naxal-infested forest reserves, there has been poor tiger density," said the official. Tigers are poached or even killed in conflict as insurgents come in close contact with them deep inside forests, the official added.

According to the the NTCA report, tiger density has fallen in reserves such as Palamu (Jharkhand), Valmiki (Bihar), Simlipal (Orissa), Nagarjunsagar (Andhra Pradesh), Indaravati (Chattisgarh) and Nampdapha (Arunachal Pradesh). :( :( :(

Very good information Kalayani.., Thank you for sharing.

Nepal government is also committed to double the tiger population to 250 by the year 2022..

An innovative way for raising funds for conservation of tigers is being done by Vikram Nandwani. Those who are interested to do their bit towards protecting these beautiful cats may see the link below.
