Wild tigers in Nepal have clawed their way back from the brink of extinction.
Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba announced the conservation success Friday morning, according to a news release from the World Wildlife Fund.Nepal's National Tiger and Prey Survey 2022 found there are now 355 wild tigers in the country, a 190% increase since 2009.The exhaustive survey covered 18,928 square kilometers -- more than 12% of the country -- and required 16,811 days of field staff time.
" The World Wildlife Fund has become involved in ecotourism projects in Nepal, added Henley. As the tiger population has recovered, protected national parks for tigers have become popular tourist attractions, with the revenue from parks helping to support community needs. This fosters a sense of community investment in conservation projects, Henley explained.Another key ingredient in recovering tiger populations is finding ways for humans and tigers to safely coexist, said Henley.
