Tiger Conservation Feat

Nepal has achieved a significant milestone in tiger conservation by nearly tripling the population of the charismatic wild cat. Nepal has achieved the ambitious global commitment of the St. Petersburg Summit with flying colors. In Nepal, there were 122 tigers in 2010. As per the latest census in 2022, the number of tigers increased to 355. Habitat management, anti-poaching measures and active engagement of local communities have made it possible for Nepal to achieve this extraordinary conservation success. After achieving remarkable success in increasing the tiger population, habitat management and mitigating human-tiger conflict have emerged as two key challenges for the government.
