The number of wild cats has gone up to 235 in Nepal, according to the latest tiger census.
The census report – published today – reads that tiger population in Nepal has gone up to 235 from 198 in 2013. The number has nearly doubled from 121 tigers in 2009.
Nepal has internationally committed to double the tiger population by 2022. According to Nepal's commitment to the Global Tiger Recovery Plan (TX2) – which was endorsed by 13 countries that are home to wild tigers, during the 2010 Saint Petersburg Declaration on Tiger Conservation – Nepal has been working to double its tiger population up to 250 or more by 2022 from around 125 in 2010.
Although the population of tigers has increased, it has gone down at the Chitwan National Park (CNP), according to the latest report. The park has an estimated 93 adult tigers, a drop from 120 that was recorded in the last census of 2013. The CNP had 50 tigers in 1996.
Likewise, Bardiya National Park has 87 adult tigers, followed by 21 in Banke National Park, 18 in Parsa National Park (PNP), and 16 in Shuklaphanta National Park.
According to 2013 census, the number of Royal Bengal tigers stood at 198, of which 120 in the CNP, 50 in Bardiya National Park (BNP), 17 in Shuklaphanta National Park (SNP), seven in PNP, and four in Banke National Park.
The tiger census began last year in November, dividing the potential tiger habitat into three complexes: Chitwan-Parsa Complex, Banke-Bardiya Complex, and Shukla-Laljhadi-Jogbudha Complex.
According to the department of wildlife conservation, 33 tigers had also died in the last five years in protected areas of the country due to natural causes.
