S3 E1: Tigers double in the last decade in India – what other countries can learn from India
Leave a reviewProject Tiger was launched in the 1970s in India. There was much fanfare, wildlife reserves were created and tiger protection became important to the Indian government. This project stopped the decline in tiger numbers in India. But, for the first time, tiger numbers have grown sharply in India's wildlife forests. That was between 2010 and 2022 when they grew from ~1700 to over 3600. This, despite a rise in India's human population and a decline in forest area. How did India achieve this? What lessons can other countries learn from India's practices?
