Tigers Survival is in our hands

 

Tigers are magnificent and royal animals of the "Umbrella species," which are thought to have developed two million years ago when the carliest known tiger progenitor left Africa and crossed into Asia. It is the world's biggest mammal and a member of the cat family, with orange hair and black stripes. Siberia and Bengal Tiger are two of the many subspecies of tiger.

 

Since the turn of the century, human development, deforestation, and poaching have all exacerbated the decline of these vital and iconic wild species. International Tiger Day was established in 2010 AD at the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit in Russia to promote awareness for tiger conservation. Looking into worlds statistics, in the beginning, there were 2226 tigers, and currently there are 4000 tigers in the world. As they are at the top of the food chain, it is critical to protect them in order to maintain a healthy and balanced environment. Nepal has joined forces with 13 other tiger range nations to rescue tigers from extinction by committing to conservation measures with the goal of tripling the national tiger population by 2022. In Nepal, the tiger population is concentrated in Pansa National Park, Chitwan National Park, Banke National Park, Bardia National Park, and Suklaphanta National Park. Aside from these protected areas, a variety of national and community forests serve as tiger habitats, allowing habitat interconnection and dispersal.

 

After being designated as an endangered animal by the IUCN's Red List, the Bengal tiger and other subspecies are put in the CITIES Appendix, which provides complete legal protection and prohibits tiger trafficking. Because of sport hunting and poaching, tiger numbers in Nepal have declined in recent years. Nepal's efforts to strengthen their conservation date back to the 1970s, when Chitwan National Park was fortified. Nepal is on track to become the first country to double its tiger population by 2022, with a jump of 235 individuals in the 2018 national survey from 121 in 2009.

Only Nepal's strong administration and the contributions of other conservation stakeholders have allowed it to quadruple its population. In the future days, program execution must be sustained in order to maintain a healthy environment. Every tiger matters, for Nepal and the rest of the globe!!
