50 years of tiger project in india, here’s what we have achieved
The Tiger Project, also known as Project Tiger, is a wildlife conservation program launched in India in 1973 with the aim of protecting the endangered Bengal tigers. The project was initiated by the Government of India in response to the rapid decline in the tiger population due to poaching and habitat loss.
As of 2023, India has 51 tiger reserves covering an area of more than 72,000 square kilometres, which is about 2.2% of the total land area of the country. These reserves are home to more than 2,500 tigers, which is around 70% of the world's tiger population.
In 2023, India celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Tiger Project. The occasion was marked with various events and initiatives, including seminars, workshops, and awareness campaigns to raise public awareness about the importance of tiger conservation.
The Tiger Project has been a success story, as it has helped to increase the population of Bengal tigers in India. The project has also contributed to the conservation of other wildlife species and their habitats. However, there are still challenges in tiger conservation, such as habitat loss and poaching, which need to be addressed.
The celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Tiger Project is a reminder of the importance of wildlife conservation and the need for continued efforts to protect endangered species and their habitats.
