India’s tiger population has doubled to over 3,600 in just over a decade, now making up 75% of the world’s tigers, a new study in Science reveals. Conservation efforts, including anti-poaching measures, habitat protection, and community involvement, have driven this success. However, challenges remain in states affected by poaching, armed conflict, and habitat loss. Researchers say India’s model offers key lessons for global conservation. "It's not just about human density, but attitudes," said lead author Yadvendradev Jhala. Sustainable rural prosperity is vital for continued recovery, balancing economic growth with tiger conservation.
