Explore India’s incredible journey to protect the Royal Bengal Tiger—turning a crisis into a hopeful success story.
The project began with 9 tiger reserves covering 18,278 sq. km. Today, it spans 53 reserves across India.
Project Tiger introduced scientific methods like pugmark tracking, camera traps, and radio collars for monitoring tigers.
The focus expanded from just tigers to entire ecosystems—protecting prey species, water sources, and forest corridors.
Locals were engaged through eco-development programs, reducing human-wildlife conflict and promoting sustainable livelihoods.
India now has over 3,000 tigers—home to more than 70% of the world’s wild tigers.
Despite progress, threats like climate change, tourism pressure, and poaching persist. Conservation is an ongoing mission.
