The tiger population in the country has risen to 1706 compared to 1411 in 2006 — a 12 per cent increase that excludes the big cats of Sundarbans, the latest Tiger Census said today, thanks to sustained conservation efforts.
Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh, who released the All India Tiger Estimation Exercise for 2010, said that "the mid-point range" of tigers in the country is 1706.
