Tiger population in Sundarban is now less than 100!! If no initiative is taken then “The Royal Bengal Tiger” will disappear from Sundarban. On the other hand, in India’s famed sundarban tiger population increases by almost a third.

According to a census program held on 2015, the number of tiger was only 106. Almost 2 years have  past, so the population of tiger is thought to be lower than 100 in present condition. Because the condition for the existence for the tiger is so detrimental.

Researchers said that in last ten years tiger population has decreased to half which is very harmful for the ecosystem of Sundarban. They assume that hunters,  sea transportation through river  of the forest and industrial infrastructures are the main threats of tiger existence in Sundarban. Recent incidence of sinking of coal laden vessels in the rivers of sundarban has worsened the ecosystem of this largest mangrove forest. Which has polluted the water and thus it will effect the existence of the tiger.

Tiger researcher Monirul Hasan Khan said, "To sustain the balance and existence of Sundarban, survival of tigers are so important . Will have to take a strong position against tiger hunters. If necessary, a joint venture of various law enforcement agencies to stop these Poaching ".

Bangladesh lagging behind in achieving the goal.

Royal Bengal Tiger can be fond in Bangladesh, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar and China. In  2010 tiger summit held in Russia, a plan granted to double the number of tigers in the world. But Bangladesh is failing to fulfill the goal and the number of tigers is decreasing rapidly.

So, the government as well as private organizations should come forward to save tigers of Sundarban at any cost. A long term plan should be taken into account for tiger conservation.

I have pointed out some initiatives which will be helpful for tiger conservation:

>Minimize conflict between humans and tigers so any situations that occur cannot be exploited by the poachers and the chance of revenge killings is minimized

>Build partnerships with local people, who can help us monitor poaching activity

>Raise political support for wildlife crime legislation in the area

>Investigate poaching and wildlife crime to stop poachers before they enter the area

>Patrol the area to ensure that poachers are caught

>Remove all the snares being laid by poachers.

These aren't actions that are easy or simple to take. And the money needed to support this work reflects that.
