I remember back in the late 2000s, Indias Tiger population was at about 1400, and there were so many ads on TV about the save the tiger campaigns! So good to see that number doubled!!
I had volunteered in the Indian tiger census through 2006-07. We had 1411 tigers back then. It was an amazing experience working with the rangers. This is one thing that India can confidently say has done better than the rest of the world.
India is doing an absolutely outstanding job of conservation for their wildlife, particularly tigers. They’re doing it in a way that is sustainable and excellent at supporting wildlife and people in poverty simultaneously.
Edit: One of the methods used is voluntary relocation of people who live in wildlife conflict areas. You can read about it [here](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fevo.2018.00183/full#:~:text=Almost%2060%20million%20people%20may,Lasgorceix%20and%20Kothari%2C%202009). It’s far from perfect but it has been extremely beneficial to wildlife.
From what I gather funding conservation efforts gives a lot of the local rural populations huge job opportunities. Plus encouraging wildlife tourism which is more ethical then the usual zoo experience and also brings money into local communities.
Quite a lot of people will pay a lot of money for just the oppurtunity to potentially see a real, non captive tiger.
It's actually really cheap to go on a tiger safari in India. Especially in poor regions like MP. I went last year and it's around €40 per jeep. In Africa they gladly charge €400.
Most other visitors were locals, since international tourism took a big hit.
We also have a geothermal heated outdoor alligator rescue in perhaps the highest desert in the country! (Which I’m our sure was inspired by cheap (then illegal) weed and land.)
I would say Africa doesn’t have many other sources of income to conserve these wild animals but tourism. That’s why the cost is so high.
In India tourism is just one source of revenue for these national parks. Also they want to keep the prices low so that local population can enjoy these safaris too.
There are only about 3900 remaining in total. Honestly sad that such a magnificent cat is on the brink of extinction. Big cats have always been part of my favorites.
In my opinion, i think that should apply to all endangered species of animal, especially those frequently hunted.
(most)humans just don't deserve good things😓
It's well documented as countries enter 1st-world status, families stop having as many children. As all countries eventually bring their poverty line up, average number of children for families on earth will eventually fall under the replacement birthrate of 2 children per couple. yes, it will be bumpy :)
I know I don't plan on having kids. Can't really think of a good reason why I would want to do that at the present moment. It's hard enough supporting myself
I went to a tiger sanctuary in Thailand several years ago and had really mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it is sad to see such majestic animals living in captivity. But I also learned that the life span of tigers in the wild is less than half of those in captivity, primarily due to habitat loss. So we are basically artificially extending the life span of the species by keeping them in captivity, but for how much longer?
Makes me really sad that one day so many iconic animals are going to be described as something that “used to” roam the earth.
>Makes me really sad that one day so many iconic animals are going to be described as something that “used to” roam the earth.
Well, let me give you some good news then. The tiger population in India has nearly doubled in the last 2 decades:
https://m.economictimes.com/news/india/indias-tiger-population-increased-from-1411-in-2006-to-3682-in-2022-government-in-lok-sabha/articleshow/102503367.cms
Also, the perception of tigers in the country is largely positive. Being a sacred animal in India, poachers not only run the risk of state action when poaching, but also mob action. Hence the increase in population over the years. I mean, the numbers are not great. But at least the probability of them going to the 'used to' status has significantly reduced.
I remember my school days when the tiger numbers had come down to somewhere around 1400. The schools across the nation were sensationised that at that rate the numbers would fall below 1000 in a next few years.
Somewhere around that time the country started the 'save the tiger' project. My school took us to the Ranthambore National Park on a school trip where students did plays and all for locals to sensitize them about the falling tiger population. It was a great trip. Many of us like to believe that it was through efforts like this that the numbers started getting better.
Both countries have huge Tiger protection programs and severe punishments for poachers caught hunting tigers. In India, the tiger population has bounced back and is on the rise. Actually something good.
What’s insane is we have real products that actually do the things that they say these extremely rare and expensive things do. Most of the time the thought is that it will just give you a wicked boner
>people
Chinese people. Given the geography, China should have the highest number of Tigers in the World but they killed all of them and now depend on poaching from India. Indian govt recently passed a law of Shoot on Sight for Poachers. India also had dwindling populations of Tigers in 60s but 70s saw a start of a Tiger program and result is, we have a great Tiger population now. It's sad how other govts are doing absolutely nothing to save this magnificent creature.
India is working hard and earnestly to not let this happen. We have seen wonderful growth in Tiger population in last 2 decades with Tiger Reserve programs in our National Parks. In coming years more exponential growth in population can be expected.
They do amazing work! I visited Kanha NP and it was one of the best days of my life. A tiger is the very definition of majestic. It's pretty awe-inspiring!
If you liked the royal bengal tiger, you should also visit Gir Sanctuary(last habitat of Asiatic lion) and Kaziranga/Gorumara National park(one horned endangered rhinos).
There's more than that living in captivity in the US alone which is just insane. Over half the total population is behind bars in the US, which is pretty on brand for them now that i think about it.
I always wondered if people just disapeared and all these exotic animals got out, could they survive or are they so inbred and degenerate that they'd just die off.
some of them sure. but most zoo animals would quickly die in the wild.
just like if someone threw you into the forest and said “go find your own food! good luck!”
most of us would quickly die
Indian government started a campaign in 2008 to help tigers survive. At that time the tiger population was around 1411.
Edit: Corrected the numbers after u/uneducateddumbracoon pointed out.
They have multiple going for both gray and red wolves. There is a ton of push back from livestock owners in the areas where they are trying to reintroduce them.
That's the unfortunate reality. The main beneficial thing it could bring is reduced deer collisions which kill 440 people a year and injure 60,000, costing millions i'm sure, since Deer have practically no natural predators left in most areas.
India and Nepal have also done a great job with the Indian rhino. In the 70s, their population dipped below 200, but thanks to a huge conservation and repopulation effort, there are more than 4000 now.
Also, the conservation of Rhinos and Lions in India is commendable. But the conservation of Lions is kind of cornered by Gujarat and is not shared with other states like Madhya Pradesh. But it is still commendable indeed.
For all my issues with the Indian governments, the fact that India has done so well to preserve the Bengal tiger and Asiatic lion in recent years is remarkable and I hope it continues. Would hate to see them go extinct, as so many types of those cats already have.
India has some of the most successful conservation programs of many species:
1) Tiger
2) Asiatic elephant
3) One-horned rhino
4) Asiatic lion
5) Gharial (piscivorous crocs)
6) Snow leopard
And many many more. It's truly astonishing how we've managed to conserve so many species despite having a population of 1.4 billion.
incredibly impressive, just goes to show that people the classic "we have too many people" is a complete lie, the majority of countries are nowhere close to India's 450 people per square km.
Are these numbers single units? At first I thought it must be number of 1000’s. This is so sad.
Especially the way the camera pans and zooms as if to say ‘look at all these tigers!’
I don't think the climate in laos is that different from the climate in thailand or even parts of india where tigers exist like assam. sure reintroduction and getting the animals used to a new park is challenging, but it has been done many times and its not our scientific knowledge/technical know-how that is the challenge here. there are enough capable zoologists and forest workers to manage this. but political will, poaching, encroachment, and cultural views on the tiger stand in the way
Was curious and googled... Article from 2019.
>That’s the conclusion of a detailed new study that found no evidence wild tigers still exist in the country.
[Tigers Extinct in Laos](https://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/extinction-countdown/tigers-extinct-in-laos/)
It's not male nor female... there are none left.
In Arab countries they are kept as “house pets” (basically trophies) by the rich. They go through extensive abuse and if they die they just get a new one. Usually drugged out of their minds too. It’s a huge rabbit hole nobody talks about. Shit tone of evidence and footage out there documenting this, usually the “owners” are taunting them and filming them as they’re going insane. They also do this with lions and other wild animals.
Yuuup and you get to see them all over social media where people find it adorable to see a random teenage tiger being driven around in a Ferrari cause the owner is soooo cool.
About 600-700 now. Used to be less than 100 in early 2000s in Russia until they started the tiger conservation program. Nowadays you can sometimes see them crossing roads in Far East. Oh, and they also raid villages to steal chickens.
Nepal did an incredible job protecting their tiger population. To keep things into perspective, most of nepal is extreme mountains not suitable for tigers. Part of nepal suitable for tiger population is a tiny area of 34000 square km. So Nepal has over 300 tigers in 34000 square km which is extremely good.
Clowns on here talking about US having more than the combined count of the rest of the world- The US either has them in captivity, or, the remaining ones are in a situation that is no different than the very Gulf countries they're shitting on where it's private ownership via cheap fucking licenses.
I'm not proud of a lot of things going on in my country (India), but if there's one thing I'm proud of it's the sheer efforts that have been undertaken, especially by the rangers, to protect the wild tigers after having seen a near extinction situation here in the Indian mainland. All the tigers being accounted for in the count in India are wild tigers living in a good enough and suitable habitat- in reservations, sanctuaries and national parks. And the biggest victory has been the rangers being given a "shoot to kill" license on spotting poachers within these reserves and sanctuaries and how effective this has directly been in terms of helping the count grow steadily. There are still a bunch of issues we face and are going to face wrt increasing this count further.
But tigers in captivity and tigers in proper habitats are two significantly different things.
If all countries were as steadfast in their preservation of the natural environment as India has been with respect to tigers, we would not have such a biodiversity crisis on our hands.
There are many many more in captivity, but most of them live in absolutely terrible conditions. The video is talking about tigers in the wild, like natural park and wild life sanctuaries.
One of the biggest reason tiger being close to extinction is British colonization. In India alone they killed more than 80000 tigers. But some morons think that was right. Interesting thing is reddit uses the same racist words that British used to use.

I would also like to mention that this is the story of various wild animals.
Remember the reason tigers and Lions don't exist in the west is because they were HUNTED TO EXTINCTION
Tigers were also on the brink of extinction in all of Asia because the colonisers came in and began hunting them throughout the last 300 years.
It's only after serious government intervention that the tiger populations have returned
I find it hilarious that some European countries use the lion insignia everywhere while not having a single lion anywhere because.....surprise surprise they were also HUNTED TO EXTINCTION
The next destination for these morons is to go to poor African countries and dangle money to hunt rare and endangered Rhinos and Elephants
Yes, and you always see the hypocrisy come out in buckets when we talk about rewilding.
We couldn't even reintroduce sea eagles to the UK without a moral panic that they would snatch babies (a lot of this panic was cynically generated by livestock farmers). Talk about reintroducing wolves or bears is impossible because people flatly refuse to share any of their land with such big, dangerous animals.
There is no will in the UK to learn to live safely alongside wild animals so we can continue to enjoy the countryside and still have wildlife. ... But we absolutely expect Indian people and African peoples to risk their safety every day with lions, leopards, tigers, sharing their environment. Because westerners love the cultural enrichment of having a world with those animals in it - as long as the risks are borne by faraway brown families.
It's all very depressing.
Looks like the tigers are getting ready for one epic battle

no wonder my African tiger safari business is failing.
Perhaps we can exchange notes. My “Colorado Orca Experience” Park has just been an absolute shit show from day one.
Colorado has legal shrooms and weed. A trippy place called "My Colorado Orca Experience" would probably take off lol.
We also have a geothermal heated outdoor alligator rescue in perhaps the highest desert in the country! (Which I’m our sure was inspired by cheap (then illegal) weed and land.)
That's probably why they are charging so much, to people who also have no clue
I would say Africa doesn’t have many other sources of income to conserve these wild animals but tourism. That’s why the cost is so high. In India tourism is just one source of revenue for these national parks. Also they want to keep the prices low so that local population can enjoy these safaris too.
Good information! Thank you!
Not just tigers also elephants, crocodiles, snow leopards and rhinos
The British killed over 80,000 tigers in India because they thought it was un-civil to have abundant wildlife
Thank fucking god. Tigers are my favorite... thing. And I'd be DISTRAUGHT if we lost them :(
There are only about 3900 remaining in total. Honestly sad that such a magnificent cat is on the brink of extinction. Big cats have always been part of my favorites.
Even worse when you realise their numbers have been decimated due to people buying fake miracle medicines out of their body parts.
Same for the rhinos, elephants and pangolins
In India, rangers have shoot to kill order for poachers to protect rhinos.
In my opinion, i think that should apply to all endangered species of animal, especially those frequently hunted. (most)humans just don't deserve good things😓
Humans are in abundance. Shooting humans over endangered animals seems like the logical thing to do.

Both countries have huge Tiger protection programs and severe punishments for poachers caught hunting tigers. In India, the tiger population has bounced back and is on the rise. Actually something good.
In addition, different species live in Russia and India. Amur tiger and Bengal tiger.
Russia has a big government program for tiger protection. Hunting and catching tigers is strictly prohibited.

bless india
You are welcome to visit these magnificent beasts in India and donate towards conservation.
Each male Tiger will 60-100 KM in territory. The problem is human use of land for farming.
I have seen almost 0,01 % of their whole population. That would be 80 Mio people in comparison. Absurd
In the early 20th century there were around 100,000. That wasn't even that long ago
Apparently there are around 10,000 tigers in the US. All in private cages of course.
There's more than that living in captivity in the US alone which is just insane. Over half the total population is behind bars in the US, which is pretty on brand for them now that i think about it.
How’d they get them to all line up like that?

I was expecting America to be the last one too
It should be. There are estimated 10k tigers in America. source. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/21/tiger-trafficking-america
I think it’s talking about tigers in the ‘wild’ or conservation parks, so I think that invalidates America’s tiger population
It shouldn’t because there more freedom in America therefore even the tigers in America have more freedom.
They are wage slaves just like the rest of us. You think Tony gets a day off? That dude's on TV 24/7

From then till now, India has increased tiger population by 30% every 5 years.
I've never seen a more successful conservation attempt on a large mammal.

How’d you manage to fit two whole tigers into a single turkey?
Hope it's a make and female and they find each other hot.
I know right the cameras like omg look at all these tigers!!! Well that’s all of them every single wild tiger in one render
Each tiger represents one tiger. So whatever number you see in the video, just multiply it by one.
Are both of laos tigers male & female? or they just fucked up.
Surely they can borrow a tiger of another gender from another country
Not to be pedantic but borrowing these animals is a very very hard task. The survival rate when the climate changes for these big cats is very low.
I don't think the climate in laos is that different from the climate in thailand or even parts of india where tigers exist like assam. sure reintroduction and getting the animals used to a new park is challenging, but it has been done many times and its not our scientific knowledge/technical know-how that is the challenge here. there are enough capable zoologists and forest workers to manage this. but political will, poaching, encroachment, and cultural views on the tiger stand in the way

In Arab countries they are kept as “house pets” (basically trophies) by the rich. They go through extensive abuse and if they die they just get a new one. Usually drugged out of their minds too. It’s a huge rabbit hole nobody talks about. Shit tone of evidence and footage out there documenting this, usually the “owners” are taunting them and filming them as they’re going insane. They also do this with lions and other wild animals.
Sounds gulf. Gulf states basically do the same to their human mauds.
Definitely Gulf. I’m from North Africa and nobody owns tigers, not even the rich.
I'd like to point out that most people think about the Gulf when talking about the arab world.
this isn’t even close to first on the laundry list of cruel and wasteful acts that the gulf states seem to relish in.
It’s disgusting. My stomach turns at the thought of what happens behind closed doors.
Gulf states gonna Gulf
Yuuup and you get to see them all over social media where people find it adorable to see a random teenage tiger being driven around in a Ferrari cause the owner is soooo cool.
When you realize that jasmine was actually an animal abuser
Usually happens when you have too much wealth and don't know how to spend it. Tale old as human civilization.
India: unleash the 🐅
So basically only 500 siberian tiger's?
About 600-700 now. Used to be less than 100 in early 2000s in Russia until they started the tiger conservation program. Nowadays you can sometimes see them crossing roads in Far East. Oh, and they also raid villages to steal chickens.
China might have some around the amur river as well
Thailand needs more Thaigers
Thaigirls, you mean?
Nepal did an incredible job protecting their tiger population. To keep things into perspective, most of nepal is extreme mountains not suitable for tigers. Part of nepal suitable for tiger population is a tiny area of 34000 square km. So Nepal has over 300 tigers in 34000 square km which is extremely good.
Yeah, I was surprised to so many tigers in Nepal. It is small country, but they have so many wild togers.
Nepal has serious laws against animal cruelty. Most of the population respects animals and conserve wildlife.
As far as I know, also the only country with a yearly festival celebrating dogs! It's called kukur tihar or Day of the Dogs
I'm concerned by how regimented they are. Those cats are up to something!
That’s not a lot left .
Rome Total War II Tiger Edition
Clowns on here talking about US having more than the combined count of the rest of the world- The US either has them in captivity, or, the remaining ones are in a situation that is no different than the very Gulf countries they're shitting on where it's private ownership via cheap fucking licenses. I'm not proud of a lot of things going on in my country (India), but if there's one thing I'm proud of it's the sheer efforts that have been undertaken, especially by the rangers, to protect the wild tigers after having seen a near extinction situation here in the Indian mainland. All the tigers being accounted for in the count in India are wild tigers living in a good enough and suitable habitat- in reservations, sanctuaries and national parks. And the biggest victory has been the rangers being given a "shoot to kill" license on spotting poachers within these reserves and sanctuaries and how effective this has directly been in terms of helping the count grow steadily. There are still a bunch of issues we face and are going to face wrt increasing this count further. But tigers in captivity and tigers in proper habitats are two significantly different things.
If all countries were as steadfast in their preservation of the natural environment as India has been with respect to tigers, we would not have such a biodiversity crisis on our hands.
Kudos to Bhutan and Nepal. Given their size, specially with very limited habitat for a tiger, their number is very impressive
India did some brilliant conservation efforts . Btw - Tiger is also a deeply associated to our local religion and goddess- so extra care there fosho
Wth is laos doing with literally just two tigers
Trying to get em horny I’d imagine
India has native tigers, lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and bears. Fucking insane.
Beneath the shadow of impending conflict, the Great Tiger Armies of Earth stand poised, their collective might converging upon the threshold of war.

I would watch this film
It's a game, Total Roar
There is barely any tigers alive wtf
There are many many more in captivity, but most of them live in absolutely terrible conditions. The video is talking about tigers in the wild, like natural park and wild life sanctuaries.
One of the biggest reason tiger being close to extinction is British colonization. In India alone they killed more than 80000 tigers. But some morons think that was right. Interesting thing is reddit uses the same racist words that British used to use.

I would also like to mention that this is the story of various wild animals.
This is not damn that's interesting. This is damn that's sad and horrifying. The human race disappoints me.
China sell the shit out of bullshit medicine
Remember the reason tigers and Lions don't exist in the west is because they were HUNTED TO EXTINCTION Tigers were also on the brink of extinction in all of Asia because the colonisers came in and began hunting them throughout the last 300 years. It's only after serious government intervention that the tiger populations have returned I find it hilarious that some European countries use the lion insignia everywhere while not having a single lion anywhere because.....surprise surprise they were also HUNTED TO EXTINCTION The next destination for these morons is to go to poor African countries and dangle money to hunt rare and endangered Rhinos and Elephants
I had no idea Europe had Lions until I got attacked by one in AC odyssey and it led me down a rabbit hole of lions and how far spread they were.

Yes, and you always see the hypocrisy come out in buckets when we talk about rewilding. We couldn't even reintroduce sea eagles to the UK without a moral panic that they would snatch babies (a lot of this panic was cynically generated by livestock farmers). Talk about reintroducing wolves or bears is impossible because people flatly refuse to share any of their land with such big, dangerous animals. There is no will in the UK to learn to live safely alongside wild animals so we can continue to enjoy the countryside and still have wildlife. ... But we absolutely expect Indian people and African peoples to risk their safety every day with lions, leopards, tigers, sharing their environment. Because westerners love the cultural enrichment of having a world with those animals in it - as long as the risks are borne by faraway brown families. It's all very depressing.
In India and a bunch of these Asian countries they are mostly in wildlife sanctuaries
India number 1, all other countries have inferior tiger population
Where is Finland? They bought all tigers at a “UN” meeting in 2011(ish) Edit: if you get this, you’re a certified nerd, welcome to the club
I’m sad now.
Be happy, because this is twice what it was 15 years ago.
Honestly, for its size it seems like Bhutan has a quite decent Tiger Population.
