India's Tiger population increasing by Vern Blossfeld

Summary: In a rare success, the endangered tiger population has been increasing in India over the last few months. More money has been spent on tiger conservation than on any other species in the world, yet no one had been able to stop the decline of the population until now. On Tuesday, the government of India announced that its tiger census had shown a surge in the population of tigers. India is home to most of the world's wild tigers, and this is great news for tiger enthusiasts and conversationalists. Still, habitat loss and human hunting of their prey, as well as poaching, continues to be an issue for tigers around the world.
Analysis: This is a world history issue because when an animal goes extinct, it affects the whole world. Hopefully the tiger population will continue to increase with the help of conversationalists. Their efforts are important in preserving wildlife.
