Good night,
Today is Global Tiger Day to raise awareness of endangered “big cats” – at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, there were about 100,000 tigers in the world; however, due to deforestation, habitat loss and poaching, etc. Factors, by 2010, the population has collapsed to an all-time low of 3,200, which also prompted more than 10 wild tiger distribution countries in the world to sign declarations, looking at the next Tiger Year – that is, 2022 to double the number of tigers?
With the arrival of the “Year of the Tiger”, Nepal is the only country that has achieved and surpassed the target . The number of wild tigers in the country has nearly tripled from 2009, but the conservation achievements have also brought new challenges to manage human-tiger conflicts – At least 16 people were killed in tiger attacks last year, according to government figures.
