Tiger Population rises in India in 2014

Tiger population in India is estimated to be 2,226 in 2014, according to a new report released on Tuesday.

The big cat population in 2010 was an estimated 1,706. The number in the central Indian landscape had gone down four years ago.

"While the tiger population is falling in the world, it is rising in India. It is a great news," environment minister Prakash Javadekar said. 

"Never before such an exercise has been taken. We have unique photographs of 80% of tigers," he said, talking about the year-long survey the helped prepare the estimation report.

Javadekar also spoke about man-tiger conflicts, and said that human deaths have shown a decrease. He also said his ministry had started a special programme for taking care of orphan cubs.



Rajesh Gopal, member secretary of the National Tiger Conservation Authority, said the estimation drive was a massive exercise across India which showed improvement in tiger numbers in many states.

On the occasion, Javadekar conferred the best reserve award on Panna Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh. Annamallai Tiger Reserve (Tamil Nadu) got the award for best communication and Periyar (Kerala) was rewarded for involving local communities. The Melghat reserve (Maharashtra) got award for smooth village relocation from tiger reserve.

India has been struggling to hold on to its last few hundreds of big cats left in the wild because of rampant poaching that feeds an illegal international trade, which supplies animal parts to the traditional Chinese medicine market, and also habitat loss, prey depletion and poor management of tiger reserves.


But conservation efforts have paid off, show the new figures. The species breeds quickly wherever there is adequate prey and good protection measures are in place.

Tiger population has been on an upswing since 2006 when it dipped to an alarming 1,411 from over 3,000 in early 2000, prompting the government to form a Tiger Task Force and tighten protection measures.

The increase between 2006 and 2010 didn’t reflect uniformly because only a handful of habitats -- such as Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand, Kaziranga National Park in Assam and some reserves in southern India -- supported a good population.

The comforting roar was missing from Madhya Pradesh, which was once an undisputed tiger haven. The country’s other popular tiger destinations, Rajasthan and Maharashtra, recorded a dip in numbers in some of their tiger reserves.

Not for long though, as latest trends suggest. 

“The decreasing trend has either reversed or stopped. There has not been a fall in tiger numbers in any landscape and most have witnessed some increase. Many tiger reserves show a stable population near to its optimal capacity, some are moving in that direction and only a few have shown a slight dip,” an official told HT earlier this month, describing Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh and Bor in Maharashtra as habitats with some concern.

The country has five landscapes -- Shivalik-Gangetic Plains, Central India and Eastern Ghats, Western Ghats, North-Eastern India and Sunderbans -- for the tiger census that started in early 2013.

Besides the tiger headcount, the census provides useful data on other wildlife living alongside the big cats. Data is collected through camera trap, DNA tests and ground report from thousands of foresters scouring the wild.

The latest report could show a decline in tiger population outside its 47 protected areas the corridors connecting them are in a shambles. Less than 10% of the tiger population lives outside the protected zones -- not a small number to be wished away considering so much little are left in India.

Over the past several years, the government has sanctioned projects in some of the corridors despite initial resistance by the National Tiger Reserve Authority.

What does a true Brit bite?

By Vidya Venkat Those rallying for British nationalism and a concomitant Brexit are forgetting that 'British culture' today is a nebulous idea. If people are what they eat, then there could be nothing uniquely ‘British’ about the Brits. When the news of the Brexit vote started coming in on Friday, June 24, my mind instantly went back to an ethnographic study of the popular UK supermarket chain Sainsbury’s, which I had done five years ago as a student of anthropology in London. Source: Wikipedia Bronisław Malinowski, a 20th-Century anthropologist, argued that culture functioned to meet the needs of individuals rather than society as a whole. Meaning, in an age of globalisation following a history of colonial cross-assimilation, Britain can hardly have an 'authentic culture'. In the study, I had set out to decode the Malinowskian “imponderabilia of everyday life” of the average British citizen. Bronislaw Malinowski, the father figure of British social anthr...

But after hearing all this type of news,i am always thinking that why people always follow such illiterate and inappropriate person who is just playing with your sisters/mothers/daughters and also earning for that. You will be shocked after hearing some of the facts of this ASARAM :   1. In early 1970, Asaram built his first ashram on 4 ha (10 acres) of land in Gujarat and began using the name Asaram Bapu. Presently, there are over 400 major and minor ashrams in India and abroad and numerous followers. 2. He preaches the existence of One Supreme Conscious and clai...
