    Project Tiger is a conservation program launched in India in 1973 to ensure the survival of Bengal tigers by protecting their natural habitats and populations. It established tiger reserves aimed at maintaining breeding populations to boost numbers in adjacent forests. The government supported intensive habitat rehabilitation and protection, established a Tiger Protection Force to combat poaching, and relocated villages to reduce human-tiger conflict. Tiger populations grew from around 1,400 in 2006 to over 3,000 estimated in 2018 due to these conservation efforts.

    Project Tiger is a tiger conservation programme launched in

    April 1973 by the Government of India during Prime Minister


    Indira Gandhi's tenure. The project aims at ensuring a viable
    population of Bengal tigers in their natural habitats, protecting
    them from extinction, and preserving areas of biological
    importance as a natural heritage forever represented as close as
    possible the diversity of ecosystems across the distribution of
    tigers in the country. The project's task force visualized these tiger
    reserves as breeding nuclei, from which surplus animals would
    migrate to adjacent forests. Funds and commitment were
    mastered to support the intensive program of habitat protection
    and rehabilitation under the project.[2] The government has set up
    a Tiger Protection Force to combat poachers and funded
    relocation of villagers to minimize human-tiger conflicts.
    During the tiger census of 2006, a new methodology was used
    extrapolating site-specific densities of tigers, their co-predators
    and prey derived from camera trap and sign surveys using GIS.
    Based on the result of these surveys, the total tiger population
    was estimated at 1,411 individuals ranging from 1,165 to 1,657
    adult and sub-adult tigers of more than 1.5 years of age.[3] Owing
    to the project, the number of tigers increased to 2,226 as per the
    census report released in 2015.[4] State surveys have reported a
    significant increase in the tiger population which was estimated at
    around 3,000 during the 2018 count (as part of a four yearly tiger
    census).[5]
