At its initiation in Corbett National Park, Project Tiger commenced with a budget of \u20b94 crore, earmarked to establish nine secure reserves conducive to nurturing and replenishing the dwindling tiger population, which then stood at a mere 1,800.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to present times, and the results speak volumes. The latest Tiger Population Estimation figures, released by the Union environment ministry, reveal a heartening rise in tiger numbers. India is now home to 3,167 tigers, reflecting a notable increase from the 2,967 recorded in 2018. Remarkably, India accounts for over 70% of the world&#8217;s wild tiger population, with numbers escalating at an impressive annual rate of 6%. However, the journey towards tiger conservation has seen its share of challenges. Between 1979 and 2002, tiger populations fluctuated between 3,000 and 4,300, as per data from the environment ministry. Unfortunately, a downward trend ensued thereafter, underscoring the persistent threats faced by these majestic creatures. Despite the hurdles, India&#8217;s commitment to tiger conservation remains unwavering. The success of Project Tiger stands as a testament to the nation&#8217;s resolve in preserving its natural heritage. Yet, continued efforts and innovative strategies are imperative to ensure the sustained growth of tiger populations and secure their future in the wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India&#8217;s endeavour to safeguard the majestic tiger, an emblem of the nation&#8217;s natural and cultural heritage, traces back to April<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7440,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19655,19580],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livzzy.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
