Tiger Census Report:- “Tiger is an incredible part of nature and an increased number of big cats in India reflects equilibrium in nature.”

Tigers and other wildlife are a kind of soft power India has to show on the international front. The Minister said, despite several constraints such as less landmass. India has eight per cent of bio-diversity because our country has a culture of saving and preserving nature and wildlife. Noting that wildlife is our natural wealth it is praise-worthy that India has 70 % of the world’s tiger population. The Minister mentioned India is tirelessly working with all 13 tiger range countries towards nurturing the tiger.

Ministry is working on a programme in which efforts would be made to provide water and fodder to animals in the forest. Itself to deal with the challenge of human-animal conflict which is causing deaths of animals. For this LIDAR based survey technology will be used for the first time. Lidar is a method for measuring distances by illuminating the target with laser light and measuring the reflection with a sensor.

Highlighting the keystone existence of the tiger

The Environment Minister also published a poster about the presence of small animals. With almost 30 per cent of India’s tigers outside tiger reserves. India embarked on evaluating management initiatives through the internationally established “Conservation Assured Tiger Quality (CA) System,” which will now apply to the country’s fifty tiger reserves.

State of Environment Minister, Shri Babul Supriyo said, human-animal conflict can avoid, but it cannot be ruled out in the country. He said, frontline officials, have done a commendable job in raising the numbers of the tiger in the country.

The detailed report of the 4th All India Tiger Estimation is unique in the following ways:-

1. Abundance index of co-predators and other species has been carried out which hitherto restrict only to occupancy.
2. The sex ratio of tigers in all camera trap sites has been carried out for the first time.
3. Anthropogenic effects on the tiger population have been elaborated in a detailed manner.
4. Tiger abundance within pockets in tiger reserves has been demonstrated for the first time.

The Heads of the Governments of Tiger Range countries at St. Petersburg, Russia, had resolved to double tiger numbers across their global range by 2022 by signing the St. Petersburg declaration on tiger conservation. During the meeting, it also decided to celebrate July 29 as Global Tiger Day across the world. It’s a celebration to spread and generate awareness on tiger conservation.

It a proud moment for India during Global Tiger Day 2019 as the PM announced India’s commitment to fulfilling worldwide as it had doubled its tiger numbers four years in advance to the target year reflecting resolute action taken by all concerned.

This detailed report compares information obtained from the earlier three surveys (2006, 2010, and 2014) with data obtained from the 2018-19 survey to estimate population trends at country and landscape scales. Patch colonization and extinction rates along with information on likely factors responsible for changes in tiger status at the excellent spatial resolution of 100 km.

The report evaluates the status of habitat corridors connecting major tiger populations and highlights vulnerable areas that require conservation attention for each landscape. The report provides information on major carnivores and ungulates regarding their distribution and relative abundance.
