2nd Tiger Conservation Forum: Nepal achieved the doubling target, but the question is still relevant

The second International Tiger Conservation Forum is beginning on September 5 in Vladivostok, Russia. It is being held after 12 years of the first summit. The first International Tiger Conservation Forum, held in St Petersburg in Russia, received tremendous attention globally as heads or representatives of 13 tiger-range countries (TRCs) including Nepal gathered and signed a momentous declaration to double the number of wild tigers by 2022.

From Nepal, then prime minister Madhav Kumar Nepal attended the summit and committed to the pledge to double the number of Nepal’s tiger population.
