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.
Kaziranga also has the highest mortality rate of tiger death's due to infighting, showing that they need more space.
But I agree that India can absolutely support more tigers, but what does that mean?
It means they need to make more protected forests but if they do that then they cannot build industrial buildings and communities to support the ever growing population.
They have already seen the success of creating protected wild life reserves and the money contributed by them, but if they thought they could make more money from reserves over industrial growth, then it would of already happened.
But the trend is going the other way, there are far less animals now than ever before, less forest now than before, more people now than ever etc.
Because there is land to the naked eye, it may not all be Tiger terrain. Some may be more suited to other creatures, I assume tigers need specific type of terrain and prey.
If Nilgai and Wild Boar populations are out of control and eating farm land, that means they are "intruding" on human made habitat and that certainly would not be safe for tiger population growth nor is a good gauge on whether that area could support tigers.
