Today’s Solutions: March 28, 2024

For the first time in more than a century, the number of tigers in the wild has risen, with some 3,890 counted in the latest global census. The tally marks a turnaround from the last worldwide estimate in 2010, when the number of tigers in the wild hit an all-time low of about 3,200, according to the World Wildlife Fund and the Global Tiger Forums. Experts are pleased with the higher count, but are wary that the rise in tiger numbers may just have been the result of improved survey methods. Even if that is the case, it just shows that experts are now aware of more tigers living outside of captivity. The news comes just a day before ministers from 13 countries meet for three days in New Delhi as they work toward doubling the world’s wild tiger population from the 2010 low by 2022.
