Tiger Population in Manas National Park Triples

• Tiger population in Manas National Park, a wildlife preserve in Assam, tripled from 2011 to 2019.
• The increase was attributed to increased funding, improved protection infrastructure, and a larger staff.
• Tourism revenue supported the growth.
• The study suggests collaborative efforts from local communities, government, and conservation agencies can lead to successful species recovery.
• The tiger population density increased from 1.06 in 2011-12 to 3.64 in 2018-19.
• The trend could double by 2023 if conservation measures are effective.
• In 2021, 44 adult tigers were photographed in Manas, one of Assam’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
