THE FIRST CENSUS ON TIGERS WAS DONE WAY BACK IN 1973 UNDER THE PROJECT TIGER.. NUMBER ESTIMATED WAS 1827 THAT TIME.. BUT THERE WAS A RISE IN THE NUMBER OF TIGERS TILL 2002.. THE NUMBER CAME UP TO 3700 BY 2002..
IN 16 OF THE COUNTRIES 28 TIGER RESERVES ESTIMATES INDICATE A FALL OF 50% IN THE NUMBER OF TIGERS IN 2006-2007..
TIGER POPULATION IN MADHYA PRADESH AND CHHATTISGARH IN 2002 WAS ESTIMATED TO 710 TIGERS .. BUT NOW IT HAS FALLEN TO 290 (DECLINE OF ABOUT 61%).. MAHARASHTRA HAS 95 TIGERS IN COMPARISON TO 238 IN 2002.. WHEREAS RAJASTHAN HAS 32 TIGERS LEFT OUT OF THE 58 IN 2002..
A FINAL CENSUS IS EXPECTED TO COME BY THE END OF 2007..
THE MINISTRY OF ENVIORONMENT AND FOREST HAS TERMED THIS REPORT UNOFFICIAL.. WII IS A PART OF THE MINISTRY AND THE GOVERNMENT HAS SANCTIONED Rs. 130 MILLION FOR THE CENSUS.. THEN HOW CAN IT BE CALLED AN UNOFFICIAL REPORT..
