Tigers on the edge of survival

Nepal’s changing climate and fragile landscape pose challenges to its tiger conservation efforts.

For the past three years, Nepal has been recognised globally for achieving a remarkable conservation milestone: the successful doubling of its wild tiger population from an estimated 121 in 2009 to 355 in 2022. This historic achievement is the result of decades of coordinated efforts, including the expansion of protected areas, strengthened anti-poaching enforcement, habitat restoration, and robust community engagement, particularly across the Tarai Arc Landscape (TAL).
