The number 1706 was the reason for much happiness this week, but I am afraid it has to be taken with a pich of salt!
According to reports, the increase in tiger population has occured not only due to the 'actual increase', but also (majorly) becasue of conducting
the tiger census in areas that were excluded earlier- like the sunderbans and other naxal affected areas of Bihar and Orissa.
Still, there was an increase- whatever the number. That's something to cheer for. This image symbolises how the tiger took an upward slope (increse in their numbers, of course)..
but at the same time, we or the tigers do not know what lies ahead! So, continued tiger conservation or rather tiger habitat conservation is the only way forward:)
I would love to know your thoughts on this..
