There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

It was mainly about what steps they have taken to conserve tiger population and mitigate human-wildlife conflicts
Wild dogs and Tigers are a big reason for dwindling livestock in Bhutan. They are forced to hunt livestock because of lack of natural prey.
There are many conservation areas in whole of Bhutan right now and multiple corridors.
According to their latest survey, in the south of the country, an average Tigress range is 20 sq. km and for a male is 80 sq. km. In the north of the country, its very different. Its 80 sq. km for females and
almost 200 sq. km for males.
Also, the highest altitude for tigers ever recorded was from Bhutan, at 4600m above sea level. Tigers here regularly go at higher altitudes.
Current population estimates give around 100 tigers, and with one of the biggest live breeding population of 40-60 females.
I did ask question about genetics and morphology and size of these tigers and it was saying that Mr. Tempa wanted to answer my question but the webinar was ended right there.
Missed it
Darn, I thought it was tonight.
At least you got to listen, bummer they weren't able to answer in time.
