The increasing number of tigers in these major tiger reserves of the country shows how seriously the Indian government and local administrations are working to protect the natural habitat of wildlife. With the increase in forest cover and tightening of anti-poaching campaigns, tigers are getting a safe and favorable environment.
Success and historical changes of Project Tiger

Decades of hard efforts, use of scientific techniques and participation of the local community have given new life to this national animal which was on the verge of extinction in the country. Today, a large part of the world’s tigers reside in India. Through modern drone technology, camera trapping and AI based surveillance system, the activities of every tiger in the forests are closely monitored, due to which the poachers have been demoralized and the tiger clan is continuously flourishing.

This is not only creating new employment opportunities at the local level, but is also strengthening the livelihood of local youth working in hotels, homestays and as guides. Tiger conservation is no longer limited to just protecting wildlife, but has become the backbone of the local economy.
