Nepalese tiger is reviving, the number doubled in less than a decade

This is really good news, especially when Bengal tigers in Nepal are classified as endangered in the Red Book.

The Bengal Tiger in Nepal has long been classified as a Critical Red Book in the Red Book by IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), even at a time when it is nearing a critical level.

The Nepalese government and wildlife conservation groups have to work hard to protect this animal. New edicts are introduced, more effective conservation strategies appear. And so far, everything has worked out.

The number of wild tigers in Nepal is currently 235.

According to a recent survey, the number of wild tigers in Nepal is currently 235 individuals - more than double that of the 121 recorded in 2009.

Conservationists have used up to 4,000 cameras, and 600 elephants to travel more than 2700km on the Nepalese plateau to obtain these figures.

"This is the result of a joint effort from the government and the local community, to protect the tiger's habitat, as well as to prevent poaching," said Man Bahadur Khadka - director of the National Parks Department. Nepalese wildlife fauna said.

Deforestation, habitat change and poaching are the three main reasons for the decline in Bengal tigers across Asia. Therefore, in 2010, Nepal and 13 other countries signed an agreement that required to double the number of tigers in their country until 2022.

Every tiger is worth it.

This is a happy number, but in fact it has not penetrated. In 1900, there were more than 100,000 tigers living around the world. Yet more than 100 years later, there are only about 3,200 leftovers. Until 2016, the WWF (International Fund for Nature Protection) had good news when the number of tigers was increased for the first time in more than a century.

According to Dr. Ghana Gurung - WWF representative in Nepal, this is a good example and worth learning for tiger conservation on a global scale."Every tiger is worthwhile, for Nepal and for the whole world," Gurung said.

"Of course there is still a little bit more to reach the doubling of tigers in 2022, but this is a memorable milestone for us to continue to do better in the future."
