This corresponds to an increase of 200 animals compared to the previous census in 2019. But in previous years, the Indian tiger population was many times larger.
India is by far the country with the largest number of tigers in the world. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at an event in the south of the country on Sunday that 75 percent of the tigers counted worldwide live in India. The currently published census is a “proud moment” for his country and a success for the entire world.
Meanwhile, the rate of increase in tiger numbers decreased from 30 percent to 7 percent in the previous four-year period. Additionally, the population is still negligible compared to previous decades. According to estimates, there were still 100,000 tigers worldwide in 1900. The number has dropped more than 93 percent over the past 100 years, and tigers still live in the wild in just 13 countries.
By the time India gained independence from Britain in 1947, an estimated 40,000 tigers were still alive. In 2010, India and 12 other countries where tigers live in the wild signed an agreement that aims to double the number of these feral cats by 2022. (SDA)
