India and Bhutan have reported an increase in their wild Tiger populations, according to new data released on World Tiger Day. India now has 3,682 tigers, making it home to 75% of the global wild tiger population. Bhutan's tiger population has reached 131, a 27% increase since 2015. The growth in tiger numbers is attributed to conservation efforts, including increased law enforcement, community-based programs, and habitat improvement. However, concerns remain about human-wild animal conflict and the illegal wildlife trade, with Bangladesh identified as a major hub for the trafficking of tiger parts.
