For the sake of background information for those not familiar with the subject of this piece:

Project Tiger, an ongoing Scheme of the Indian central government, was launched on 1 April 1973 in nine reserves of different States Assam, Bihar, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal over an area of approximately 14,000 sq. km. Now, the project includes 53 tiger reserves sprawling over around 75,000 sq km of the region.

India aims to sustain a viable tiger population based on the carrying capacity of habitats while maintaining a balance between economic development and wildlife conservation.

India harbours around 3,000 tigers, more than 70 percent of the global wild tiger population, and the number is increasing at a rate of 6 percent per year.
