India now has the world’s largest tiger population, with over 3,600 tigers, making up 75% of the global total, despite having the highest human density and only 18% of the world’s tiger habitat.

The population has doubled in just over a decade, thanks to conservation efforts that include protecting tigers from poaching, securing prey, and reducing human-wildlife conflict.

Tigers now inhabit 138,200 sq km of land, often coexisting with around 60 million people.

The study highlights how both economic prosperity and sustainable land use contribute to tiger recovery, though urbanization and poverty can hinder it.

Armed conflict in certain regions also increases extinction risks, the BBC has reported.

Despite occasional human-wildlife conflicts, tiger populations have thrived in areas with proper protection and coexistence strategies.
