If you are the kind of tourist who has been on umpteen safaris and trails to catch a glimpse of the elusive ‘big cat’, you might be in luck the next time. Because according to the latest tiger survey by the Indian government, the country has witnessed a jump in tiger population between 2014 and 2018.
While the census results were declared last year, the tiger survey has now made it to the Guinness Book of World Records for being the largest on-camera wildlife survey globally. The “Status of Tigers in India – 2018” estimates that India’s tiger count had gone up from 2,226 to 2,927 (including tiger cubs) in four years.
Sharing the news, Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar tweeted, “India’s 2018 Tiger Census makes it to Guinness Book of World Record.” The assessment that was carried out in three different phases has been termed as the “most comprehensive” by the Guinness Book of World Records.
