The data obtained from India’s tiger action plan (2012-2018) released on Monday shows that despite the tiger population increasing, the tiger habitats and corridors have witnessed urgent need of protection especially after scores of incidents were tigers were killed while traversing these corridors inside their habitats.
According to the data, the big cat population has seen an increase from 1,411 in 2006 to 1706 in 2010 and 2226 in 2014. But the worry is that a 12.6 percent decline is recorded in tiger occupancy in connecting their habitats outside the tiger reserves between 2006 and 2010.
