FfFfFfFF 58,359 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 KATHMANDU — The number of tigers in Nepal has nearly tripled over the past 12 years, officials announced July 29, on the occasion of International Tiger Day. The figure of 355 tigers blows past the 250 that the Himalayan country was expected to achieve as part of global efforts to double the wild tiger population. Nepal was home to 121 tigers in 2010, the same year that it and 12 other tiger range countries agreed to double the population of Panthera tigris by the next Year of the Tiger in the Chinese zodiac, which is 2022. “This success was possible due to the unwavering political will of the government of Nepal, contributions of many stakeholders including enforcement agencies and conservation partners, but most of all the communities that live alongside tigers,” said Pem Narayan Kandel, secretary at the Ministry of Forests and Environment.

Quasi 11,034 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 This just shows how critical it is to save these species, that the thought of tigers in the wild still baffles me. That in some places in the world you could be walking and stumble upon a tiger without a big barricade between you and them. Such beautiful and enigmatic creatures. I don't understand pineapples, so I don't eat bananas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard someone say that in tropical cultures, partly for this reasons (dangerous predatory animals of big size, venomous plants and animals etc), nature is seen as something scarry whereas in more northern cultures, nature is associated with calm and serenity. Even though even in Europe we had and still have 'dangerous' animals (bears, bisons, lynxs, wolves). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
