Good news! Tiger population in Uttarakhand sees a 314% jump: Here’s why it happened

Uttarakhand, known for its rich biodiversity and scenic beauty, has some more reasons to celebrate. According to the state’s Chief Wildlife Warden Samir Sinha, the tiger population density in Uttarakhand is among the highest in the world. The tiger population, which stood at 178 in 2006, rose to 560 in 2022, recording a rise of 314%. However, a slight increase was recorded in 2023 in the number of people killed and injured in tiger attacks, Sinha said.
