Project Tiger
Project Tiger is an ambitious project launched by the Indian Government with the aim of saving the tiger population in India. The main objectives of the project are to conserve tigers, and their habitats, and to increase the tiger population. Project Tiger operates through various measures such as protecting tiger habitats, anti-poaching measures, and ecological restoration. The project also focuses on community involvement and education to create awareness about the importance of tiger conservation.
Project Tiger was launched in 1973 with the aim of saving the Indian tigers from extinction. The project aims to create a network of tiger reserves in India, which are protected areas where tigers can roam freely and breed. These reserves are designed to provide a natural habitat for tigers and also provide a source of income for the local communities through eco-tourism.
