Many thanks for sharing. The tiger story is arguably the biggest conservation success story in recent years. For me, protecting source sites (=national parks) has been the key. And as you say, it's amazing that tiger numbers have doubled given that the human population is so high.

It's so exciting to read about the rebound of endangered species, like the Japanese ibis and the Bengal tiger.

I was at Ranthambore National park in Rajasthan in 2010, when there were just 1700 tigers. I got the chance to meet with some people involved in conservation work there, and I think that today's numbers of >3800 tigers would have exceeded their "wildest" (see what I did there?) expectations. Thank you for sharing this excellent news!
