The number of tigers roaming Nepal’s southern region has doubled since the country signed the 2010 Tiger Conservation Plan. Wildlife groups and conservationists have welcomed the news as a sign that political involvement and innovative conservation strategies can reverse the decline of the majestic Royal Bengal tiger. In 1900, more than 100,000 tigers roamed the world, but deforestation, encroachment of habitat, and poaching caused that number to fall to an all-time low of 3,200 in 2010.
