Good news if :

- indeed the number of tigers in Nepal has doubled in 10 years.
- The park ranger's level of involvement is the one showed in the video.

But, of course, if the tigers are more numerous in such proportions, the problems of cohabitation with humans are inevitably going to increase.

Big challenge for the future !

numbers surely doubled in the last 10 years, the bigger problem is the lack of prey. which ultimately leads to tigers killing livestock for survival. this is an ongoing issue around Khata corridor and other areas where human interactions have increased considerably. only real solution i see is to move people away from the forest areas and introduce more prey in areas where the numbers have drastically reduced. more tigers mean bigger food source and if food source is limited. it becomes a life long issue for long term survival. Nepal is headed in the right direction from a conservation stand point, i think sooner or later they will figure out a solution. those rehab facilities are limited and super costly so i don’t see it as a solution, it’s just a temporary gateway to ensure survival but ultimately prey depletion is a huge issue that needs to be properly addressed.
