 Sanctuary Asia at Bandhavgarh National Park9 hrs · Edited ·India's 2014 tiger estimation numbers declared.For a change we have positive news on the tiger front. Based on rigorous protocols established in consultation with some of the finest field biologists both in and out of government, the official tiger estimation for the year 2014 is now 2,226 tigers, up by over 30 per cent over the 2010 figure of 1,706.
