Tigers around the world are faced with many dangers. Although with many challenges, Nepal’s wild tiger population has increased by 190 percent since 2009. According to Nepal’s National Tiger and Prey Survey 2022, there are now 355 wild tigers in the country, compared to 121 in 2010.
Ginette Hemley at the World Wildlife Fund said, “Tigers in Nepal and other 10 countries in Asia, were reducing because of two main reasons. The most important one was illegal(非法的) hunting for the illegal animal trade. The second reason was loss of habitat(栖息地).”
To increase the number of wild tigers, Nepal took strong action to stop illegal hunting. Nepal also added protections of roads in protected areas. Hemley said, “Nepal really does stand out as a leader in protecting tigers... The tigers are protected by the government, not only people.”
It’s important to point out that the increase in wild tigers has come with an increase in deaths of people living near forest lands. Hopefully we will continue to see a recovery in tiger populations, as well as action taken to protect local people.
